Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flint tabular bladelet core of later prehistoric / Bronze Age date struck from a grey flint with white patination / re-cortication from deposition in calcareous sediments. There appears to be a single striking platform, with parallel removal scars around approximately half of the circumference. Some of these are partially patinated and some break the patination, suggesting several phases of use and re-use.

A flint bladelet core of grey flint with a single striking platform from which a number of blades have been removed. The core appears to have been opportunistically worked from a large fragment of a flint nodule and the single platform shows minimal preparation with battering damage to one side and a patch of cortex on the other. This lack of preparation likely suggests a later prehistoric date.

An irregularly shaped flint core dating to the later Neolithic to Bronze Age (c 3000-800 BC) struck from a dark grey to pale grey flint. One side of the core appears to have been the predominant platform although it is poorly prepared and damaged around the edge. There are a number of broadly aligned removal scars radiating from this surface, to create a triangular body to the core with a flat surface on one side which may represent a second striking platform. All removals appear to be from hard hammering, as is typical of flint implements of this late date (Butler, 2005: 179-181). No…

Grey-green flint with darker banding, cortex spot; possible core. A large chunk of much-battered flint, with some large flakes intermittently removed by multangular hard-hammer strike. The putative working is obscured by extensive battering along all arises where the planes of the object meet, and this - and indeed possibly all traces of 'working' - might have arisen from the natural rolling of the object in surf. The finder kindly suggests an identification as a hammer stone, which may be suggested by this damage, albeit a different material would usually be selected if the object we…

A small discoidal flint core fragment, probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, c. 2900-1600 BC. The core is of an orange flint, sub-circular in plan with a shallow sub-triangular cross section and slightly convex base, giving it a cone-shaped appearance. Only and extremely small amount of cortex remains on the surface, with four larger blade-like nagative removal scars on the lateral surface, as well as some smaller removal scars. These removals were struck from multiple directions, with at least two struck from the scar of another removal. A diffuse bulb of percuss…

Early Bronze Age / Beaker Period core that has been made from the cutting end of a Neolithic polished axe. The remaining polished area is on the dorsal where the slope of the cutting edge is visible in profile, plus area pf polishing is still retained on the left side. The top left corner of the axe head is missing; this is a result of frost damage and shows heavy pitting on the distal end and running down the right side. There is a large flaking scar on the ventral side, this is partially obscured but pitted frost damage. Finally there are large flaking scares at the proximal end on …

A small flint Levalloisian core of likely early Bronze Age date c. 2200-1000 BC.
Description: The core is irregularly shaped with two striking platforms at right angles. The core has distinctive 'tortoise shell' flaking typical of Levalloisian production technique, however it is far smaller than the tools being produced during the Middle-Palaeolithic and likely relates to the use of the technique during the early Bronze Age. It seems probable due to the size of the core that it may have been produce a thumb nail scraper or other equally small tool. The core is light blue-grey mottl…

Description: The core is irregularly shaped and has a battered striking platform. Much of the surface is covered with various flaking scars, one side has preparation flaking. There appears to be retouch along parts of the tapering end of the flake, it can be described as short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch along the square jutting tab at the bottom of the flake possibly indicating its reuse as a scraper or similar. There is a large dish scar on side which may or may be from tool removal or fr…

Black flint core with remains of cortex. Blades have been struck off in a somewhat haphazard way, suggesting that it was used for a short period and possibly by an inexperienced Mesolithic or Neolithic knapper. However this pattern of flaking, the size of the flakes, and the presence of so much cortex, make it more likely to be Bronze Age. It measures 50mm in length 39mm in width, 31mm in thickness and weighs 51.9 grms. The core dates from c7000 - c800 BC.

This is a single platform core with long flakes removed. There is no retouch.
The flint is dark brown with an orange tinge and was probably a local beach pebble indicated by the remianing secondary cortex.
Cores are very difficult to match and date, but Butler 2005 illustrates a similar piece on Page 180 Fig 80 No 2, which he places in the later Bronze Age.

A large core of translucent grey and orange chert with small remaining areas of nodular cortex. It has been used to produce large flakes, most of which have been truncated. The core seems to have been abandoned when it was too small to produce them. An expedient multi platform technique has been used.Butler(2005) illustrates a multi platform core on page 180, fig 74, 5.

A single platform core from a segment of a rounded pebble of flint. The natural flat surface has been exploited and with abrasion to strengthen the edge, short hinge terminated flakes have been struck off. Then the core has been discarded and altered to a pinkish grey colour by fire. Butler(2005) illustrates a core with a thermal flake scar platform on page 156, fig 65,5.

A core worked from a pebble of light grey flint with opaque coarse cream inclusions. It has had flakes removed from opposite sides of the platform in the manner of a chopper core with a mixture of stepped and feathered removals. The core type seems to be from a combination of tough flint and expedient technique. Butler(2005) illustrates a 2 platform core on page 180, fig 74, 4.

A yellow chert core on a beach pebble; likely sourced locally. Flakes have been removed at a right angle to each other from one platform edge in the manner of a chopper core. A patch of gloss runs from the platform edge down the main flake scar. It appears that the core has been re-used as a plane or some other kind of tool that is used on soft material. Butler(2005) illustrates a 2 platform core on page 180, fig 74, 4.

An old cortical flake, apparetly human struck with a hard hammer.It has patinated and stained to an attactive brown, yellow and purple banded with a cream centre. Although these colours correspond on both dorsal and ventral surfaces it does not go deeper than a thin layer. This is broken through on one margin with a line of bold semi-abrupt retouch revealing yellow chert. Butler(2005) illustrates a side scraper on page 184, fig 75, 5.

A core worked on a grey and cream flint pebble. No inital flake has been removed to produce a surface from which a flake can be struck. Instead flakes have been removed by striking through the cortex from available directions.This technique was adopted for expedient tools paticularly in The Bronze Age. Butler(2005) illustrates this on page 180, fig. 74, 4.

A small pebble of mottled grey and cream flint. It has been prepared as a single platform core with two bold removals. The core has been discarded without platform abrasion so that it was not intended to remove further flakes. Butler(2005) illustrates a single platform core on p.156, fig.65,5.

A large mid grey flint pebble, broken in half to reveal a large coarse orangey inclusion. The margin of the boken facet has been radially worked from the cortical edge to leave thin small step fracture terminated flake scars. Internal cracks and the inclusion must have discouraged further efforts.Butler(2005) illustrates later Bronze Age cores including p.180, fig.74, 3 which has some of the flakes removed from a cortical platform.

A single platform flake core on a mottled grey brown flint with cream flecks and a large quartzy inclusion. The gaps between the flake ridges where they meet the platform edge have been deeply abraded giving a scalloped platform plan. This may have isolated the individual platforms for a set of crested removals which was however not attempted.A similar scalloped platform core is illustrated by Butler(2005) on page 180, fig.74,2.

A flake core worked two thirds way around a single platform on a mid grey cream flecked chert pebble of about 60 mm diameter. Some wide flakes have been detached but progress has been stopped by line of similar step fractures which go nearly all around the worked platform edge. The inability to prevent this by better preparation may indicate a later style than practised in the Neolithic. Butler(2005) illustrates a single platform core hampered by step fractures on page 180, fig.74,2.

This a multi platformed core with irregular flake removals giving a sharp and denticulated edge to the platform.. It is made from pebble flint and still has a secondary amount of cortex remaining. It is a fresh piece with some flakes still adhering.
Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 180, fig.74, No.5 which is dated to the Bronze Age.

A crude flint core. The flint is opaque and grey-brown. There is a patch of abraded pebble cortex on one surface (this is a river pebble which has been thermally spalled). The core has been worked opportunistically from several directions using a hard hammer. There is a small striking platform at the proximal end and and a bulb of percussion with bulbar scar ventrally.
Date: Probably Bronze Age - c. 2100 to 800 BC
