Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Dark grey flint tranchet axehead. Sub-rectangular flake of ovate section with two broad parallel flakes struck from either side and with angled flakes trimmed from either side at one end to form a cutting edge. The other end is flat, forming a butt. Dense milky patina has developed over all struck surfaces, indicating the object has endured prolonged exposure after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic, 10,000-7000 BC. Length: 62.9mm, Width: 31.1mm, Thickness: 22.0mm, Weight: 39.56gms.

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A possibly incomplete and unfinished Mesolithic flint tranchet axe. The opaque creamy coloured flint has a small patch of cortex on one face and several large iron spots on the other face. One face has been heavily worked while the other has only a few large flakes removed. A projection on the base of the un-worked face suggests that the axe may have been hafted. The surviving length is 79.8mm, the width is 48.7mm, the thickness is 29.0mm and the weight is 123.71g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Flint tranchet axehead. A thick oval flake with broad flakes removed from both sides by probably unidirectional hard hammer working; these included an angled blow removing a broad flake from one end, with localised evidence for light battering immediately adjacent. The resultant section is of an angular oval form. A dense buff patina suggests the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment, while extensive orange staining might point either to its incorporation in gravel or to the underlying tint of the flint - which is uncertain. The discolouration points to an …

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Grey-green flint with cortex probable tranchet axehead. A thick triangular flake with cortex lightly trimmed from the dorsal side, though some of its loss should be ascribed to adventitious edge-on impacts. The ventral side bears the scars of covering multi-directional angled scalar hard hammer working, with the broader end of the object sharpened by the removal of one large flake. Subsequent angled scalar retouch either tidied or sharpened this cutting edge. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic, 10,000-7000 BC. Length: 82.6mm, Width: 43.4mm, Thickness: 19.2mm, Weight: 49.64gms.

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey flint with cortex spot, possible tranchet axe. A thick oval flake of roughly oval section with covering hard hammer working overall, and with an angled end which may indicate sharpening by oblique removal of a single flake. The same end is ridged by battering immediately below this site. The object was formed by hard hammer removal of large flakes from the dorsal side, and bears parallel broad flake removal scars on the ventral surface, most clearly visible on one side of a notional longitudinal centre line. One side is flat, probably from a single hard hammer strike during …

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Grey flint tranchet axehead. An oval biconvex flint object of oval section, with broad and narrow flakes trimmed from one [?the ventral] side by probably multangular angled retouch, and with covering retouch across the other [?dorsal]side comprising predominantly unidirectional angled retouch. The identification offered is suggested by the angled cutting edge which appears to have been formed by a single hard hammer strike. The aris between the two convex sides is lightly battered. Chips at the cutting edge are probably recent and adventitious damage. Suggested date: Early Mesolithic,…

Toffee coloured semi-translucent Flint with cortex, serrated implement. Elongated plano-convex tapered flake of good quality non-local flint or chert with two elongated and one oblique flake removal scars on one side, producing an angular section. A strip of thick creamy cortex has been deliberately left in place along one face of the convex side, and the long sharp edge opposite it has been very finely denticulated by pressure flaking with a fine point, perhaps the end of an antler tine. Chips at either end of the object are probably adventitious damage, though it is uncertain at wha…

Pale grey flint serrated implement. Bladelet with four long parallel flakes removed from its dorsal side, its end bevelled, and slightly curved on the ventral side. Short abrupt retouch, unusually executed from the ventral aspect, follows one straight edge to confer a finely serrated cutting edge; a lesser degree of apparent retouch on the opposite edge is probably fortuitous damage. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.

Grey flint with cortex spot and dense misty patina overall, serrated implement. Long narrow flake with long parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral; slightly curved when viewed in profile. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows both long edges, producing serrations so fine they are more easily felt than observed. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.

Brown cloudy opaque flint of good quality. Possible flint knife or saw. Three long parallel flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect meet at the rounded end of a long straight sided flake; the ventral side bears a small bulb of percussion defining the round end described above. Fine retouch down both long sides executed from the dorsal side gives a very finely serrated double cutting edge. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic, 7000-3500 BC.
