Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete axehead roughout made from a gabbroic greenstone cobble that is finer grained and more doleritic than other examples from this area. The interrelationship between the weathering, fracture and possible grinding of the cobble are very complex. The butt end is rounded and damaged, and the blade end has completely worn away so that the roughout is now waisted and narrower at the blade end, where it tapers to a point in profile. Half of the ventral face is also missing, where a section has sheared off and left a stepped projection towards the butt end of the roughout. Several fla…

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Broken blade end of an axehead roughout of coarse gabbroic greenstone, U-shaped in plan, lozenge-shaped in profile and oval in section. There is a defined yet damaged cutting edge at the blade end, and the entire surface is deeply pitted and weathered. The roughout is broken in half so that the butt end is missing. This is one of a group of 14 stone tools described as 'potential axes' that have been found on Clodgy Moor or Trungle Moor in Paul parish. A few of these have distinct areas where grinding has been carried out to start a blade. The remainder have a broadly axe-shaped…

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of gabbroic greenstone cobble, triangular in plan and in profile and circular in section. The piece is broken at one end and tapers to a point at the other, to form a conical shape, similar to the pointed butt end of an axe. The surface appears to have been ground into this shape, rather than weathered, and there is a large spur projecting from the broken end at one edge, which seems to have formed naturally into two concentric protrusions. This is one of a group of 14 stone tools described as 'potential axes' that have been found on Clodgy Moor or Trungle Moor in Paul parish…

The piece is broken at one end and tapers to a point at the other, to form a conical shape, similar to the pointed butt end of an axe. The surface appears to have been ground into this shape, rather than weathered, and there is a rectangular flake that has been removed from the broken end at one edge, which may be more recent damage.

Fragment of gabbroic greenstone cobble, triangular in plan and in profile and ovoid in section. The piece is broken at one end and tapers to a point at the other, to form a conical shape, similar to the pointed butt end of an axe. The surface appears to have been ground into this shape, rather than weathered, and there is a large spur projecting from the broken end at one edge, which may be harder material to grind down flat, or perhaps why the axe broke at this point.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint 'horseshoe' scraper (3500 BC- 2100 BC).
This scraper has been made on a tertiary flake and is sub-rectangular in plan, roughly 'D'-shaped in cross-section. The dorsal face has three major flake scars and has been worked almost all the way around the edge. The removals are abrupt and semi-abrupt, short and scaled.
The flat ventral face has several ripples but has no bulb of percussion. It has an oval formation near one end where there is a hinge fracture. It is unclear what age this fracture may be.
This implement is light grey with some off-white areas.

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Neolithic flint side scraper (3500 BC- 2100 BC).
This scraper has been made on a secondary flake and is sub-oval in plan, pointed oval in cross-section. The dorsal face has about 50% buff cortex, on side has a large flake scar and the opposite side has pressure flaked removals throughout its length. These are low angled, long and sub-parallel.
The slightly humped ventral face has a bulb of percussion with a percussion scar and no ripples. The distal end has been worked over most of its length and these are low angled, short and scaled.
The flint is brown with greyish a…

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Weathered cobble of greenstone, oval in plan and ovoid in profile and section. There is rough working over the whole of the surface of the flat oval shape which may have once been an axehead roughout, and has since been broken and weathered. One end tapers more to a rounded point, but there is no clear blade or butt end. The ventral face is more flat, mainly through weathering, while the dorsal face is more pecked. This is one of a group of 14 stone tools described as 'potential axes' that have been found on Clodgy Moor or Trungle Moor in Paul parish. A few of these have distin…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flitn scraper or knife. The flake is sub-oval in plan with a broad crescentric cutting edge at the distal end. This edge has been nearly worked. The dorsal surface has a broad flake scar with smaller ones to either side. A patch of cortex remains on the top right hand side of the distal end. A bulb of percussion extends from the proximal end on the ventral surface. The flint is dark grey in colour.

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Weathered cobble of metamorphic slate deriving ultimately from the granite aureole, which has been shaped into an axehead roughout, now broken. The roughout is rhomboidal in plan, and lozenge-shaped in profile and in section. The blade end tapers to a point in both plan and profile, so the cutting edge is missing, and the butt end has broken off. The ventral face is more ground down, mainly through weathering, while the dorsal face is more flaked and damaged. This is one of a group of 14 stone tools described as 'potential axes' that have been found on Clodgy Moor or Trungle Moor in P…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC - c.1150 BC). The arrowhead is bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan. There are two rounded notches in the base, flanking the central tang with a barb at either side. The tang is complete and extends beyond the limit of the barbs, of which only one is complete.
In "Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics", Bond (2004, p.205) comments that the date range for barbed and tanged arrowheads is taken to be implicated, in Wessex in particular, with the onset …

Broken blade end of an axehead roughout of igneous rock but not gabbroic greenstone, U-shaped in plan, and lozenge-shaped in profile and in section. There is a defined yet damaged cutting edge at the blade end, and the ventral face is more ground down, through use rather than weathering, while the dorsal face is more pitted. This is one of a group of 14 stone tools described as 'potential axes' that have been found on Clodgy Moor or Trungle Moor in Paul parish.
