Record ID: KENT-43EEE2
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic worked flake of dark grey flint,made into a scraper. There is some retouch along the curved edge, thus the flake could have been used as a crude scraper. Some previous flakes have been removed from the surface of the flake. There is no cortex surviving on the surface of the flint.

Record ID: KENT-43EC85
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete retouched blade of mesolithic date. The blade would have been longer but has been broken across its width. The break is old as seen by levels of wear. Both edges have been retouched with sub-parallel removals. This forms a knife edge. The blade was knapped from dark grey flint, and ripples of percussion can be seen along its length.

Record ID: KENT-43DFE6
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A Mesolithic flake. Original note suggested a 'tranchet axe'. The images indicates a possible large flake, but not a core-tool such as an axe. The flake is knapped from dark grey flint. It was originally suggested that this 'axe' gave evidence of 'subsequent flakes removed to resharped the blade'. A simple category of flake is assigned by the photograph image.

Record ID: ESS-05D296
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Complete Neolithic flint axe. Hazel Martingell notes that the axe is flaked on both surfaces except where there are areas of cortex. The flint is rough in quality, probably a large cobble originally. It measures 128mm long, 37mm wide, 36mm thick and weighs 271.26g. The knapping technique consists of the removal of deep flakes at the butt end and flat shallow flake removals at the blade end. The artefact gradually expands from butt to blade. This axe was recovered from the northern part of a ring ditch. The presence of large diagnostic flint artefacts on a site is always of in…

Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
Hammerstone of Mesolithic or Neolithic date (possibly late Mesolithic to earlier Neolithic). This light grey flint has a cream cortex covering 30% of its surface. The flint has a battered surface where is has been used as a hammer. The lump may represent a re-used core, utilised as a hammerstone (hence cubic profile, with possibe flake scars). It is 39.96mm long, 30.15mm wide, 32.66mm thick and weighs 46.49 grams.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Published
Flint arrowhead knapped from mottled beige/grey flint. Both faces have negative flake scars, with re-touch along the edges. The arrowhead is a leaf or tear-drop shaped, which is described as a Type 2a by Green (1980 ‘The Flint Arrowheads of the British Isles. A detailed study of the material from England and Wales, with comparanda from Scotland and Ireland’ Oxford: BAR British Series 75 i and ii). The arrowhead measures 24.53mm long and 15.71mm wide. It weighs 1.7g. This shape of arrowhead, dates to the early Neolithic period, 3500 to 2900 B.C.

Record ID: LIN-DF4366
Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A lithic implement, possibly representing the top of a flint axe. The axe is small, triangular in plan and also in cross-section. The axe is well worn and all of the edges are rounded. The flint is a mottled light brown-yellow colour. There is cortex or re-cortication at the butt end. There is a suggestion that this is lower or middle Palaeolithic, but this identification must only be taken with great caution.

County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age flint flake, c. 2500-1500 BC. Light to mid-grey flint flake. There is a bulb of percussion at the proximal end of the ventral surface beneath the striking platform and there is some rippling evident on this surface. There are flake scars, ridges and rippling on the dorsal surface. The flake is worked to a point at the distal end, and there is evidence of retouching along the edges.

Object type: SICKLE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
Complete single-piece flint sickle of Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (3000 BC – 1500 BC). Length 83mm, width 36mm and 19mm thick. Weight 48.71g. In plan, the cutting edge is straight and the outer profile is evenly curved. The initial flaking on both faces has been carried out with a hard hammer and the edges appear to have been created by the use of pressure flaking. There is no evidence for a bulb of percussion or any wear along the cutting edge. The implement has a whitish patina with small areas of iron oxide staining.

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
Almost complete "sub-cordate" flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date (500000 BC – 40000 BC). Length 115mm, width 83mm and 34mm thick. Weight 291.19g. Bi-facially worked and symmetrical in plan, the implement has a pointed tip and a rounded butt. Part of the tip is lost. The flake removals cover the whole of both surfaces. It is slightly "rolled" and the patination colour on both faces is variable between a pale buff through to a pale orange. At the edge, on one face there is a later flake scar, the surface colour of which is much the same as the general patination. This implement f…
