Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead struck from a pale brown flint. The arrowhead is broadly "kite" shaped (cf. Butler (2005), p 123, Type 2) and bifacially worked, with both faces having patches of long, low-angle intrusive and covering pressure-flaked retouch to refine the distal point and reduce the bulbar scar at the proximal end. The cross section is lenticular.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint arrowhead of later Neolithic oblique type struck from a tertiary flake of brown flint, 34.4mm in length. The cross section is asymmetrical and triangular with a flat and a convex face. One long edge has retouch along what appears to be the line of a break to refine a blunted edge running to the sharp point. The base has long low angle sub parallel retouch and is slightly hollowed.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A tertiary struck flake of orange brown flint, possibly a late Neolithic flint tranchet / chisel arrowhead, 40.1mm in length. The object has a triangular plan with the bulb of percussion on one long side; this has been intentionally reduced with scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The broad end / cutting edge of the flake feathers from a tranchet removal but is not further retouched.

Record ID: HAMP-606521
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A grey flint end scraper of possible Neolithic date. The scraper is circular in plan and ovate in section and has been re-worked with a soft-hammer touch around one long edge. The ventral side has a pronounced bulb of percussion and rippling suggesting hard hammer working, and the dorsal side has been worked all around its edge, also with prominent ripples present.

Object type: SADDLE QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained Limestone saddle quern. A neat sub-rectangular block of stepped wedge-shaped profile, worn on its upper surface with a flat base which is indented only at its thicker end. The form is Neolithic, and a saddle quern would be used with a separate cobble grinding stone to grind corn to a coarse flour, and hence marks the advent of arable farming in the area whence it was reported. The small size and flat base – the latter perhaps suggesting use on a flat surface or even a table, which would be a remarkable feature to postulate in a Neolithic settlement – are perhap…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Secondary soft hammer struck blade, of sub-trapezoidal cross section, struck from a single platform core, of unpatinated mid-grey flint, grading to black towards the distal end, this itself if broken transversely and carries a small patch of thin cortex to the dorsal face. Both lateral edges are finely and slightly irregularly damaged, it is difficult to say if this is recent or ancient. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

County: Norfolk

Two hard hammer struck flakes:
short flake of unpatinated mottled grey flint with orange staining on and just below the cortical platform, struck through an internal linier flaw to the ventral face, appears to be debitage. L: 30.07 W: 25.3 T: 7.32 mm, 6g.
Blade, struck from either an opposed platform core, or a multi-platform core of lightly patinated pale grey flint, the dorsal face has a flake scar that has stopped short and terminated in a hinge around the midway point, other flake scars have been struck from the opposing platform to try to undercut this hinge, these flake scars…

Three hard hammer struck flakes:
Stout, sub-triangular tertiary flake, of unpatinated grey flint with fine, steep retouch to both lateral edges, one edge forming a neatly curved scraping edge, the distal end is partially stepped and is not retouched. L: 28.23 W: 29.63 x T: 8.10 mm, 7g.
Tertiary, elongated flake of trapezoidal cross section, of mottled orange patinated flint, both lateral edges and the distal end are irregularly and steeply retouched. The dorsal face of the platform has been carefully trimmed of the overhang before this flake was struck from the core to avoid the bl…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavy butted Neolithic fully ground and polished flint axe, of white patinated flint with a slightly grey inclusions to one face, all surfaces have both spotty iron stains and streaks from contact with agricultural machinery. The axe has been damaged at some point to the cutting edge, it appears that a large flake has initiated at the cutting edge (presumably in use) and has left a “plunging” flake to one face, the flake has terminated in a large step fracture, this is a common feature to axes that have broken in use, like NMS-7AE7C9, NMS-E21D6A and NMS-4EA515, the last t…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic part-polished, thin butted axe, of lightly patinated light grey flint with a band of darker flint to the butt, the pale buff coloured parts are the slightly coarser inclusions within the flint, one face is streaked with rusty iron scrapes from agricultural machinery, all flake scars appear to be soft hammer struck and nearly all the flakes terminate without hinges to the dorsal face, the ventral face is slightly coarser and exhibits many fine step/hinge terminations to the flakes, this is not unusual with bifaces. The axe itself is in good condition save for some recent damag…

Object type: QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Saddle quern made from a coarse-grained quartz dolerite or diabase erratic, mid-grey with numerous lighter coloured coarse inclusions, the centre appears to have been hollowed by use to depth of c. 50 mm, the depression is sub-circular: c. 130 x 150 mm. The outside of the stone is very roughly and minimally shaped to a sub-bowl shape, one edge is especially straight and is ground almost smooth, presumably to enable the contents to be tipped out once processed. Cf. LIN-ED2837 for a broadly similar quern. Saddle querns were used to grind many plants and seeds both for culi…

Mid grey opaque flint scraper. A small thick crescentic flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge. A misty patina over all surfaces may suggest the object was subsequently exposed to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint oblique or hollow-based arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic, 3300 BC - 2200 BC. The arrowhead is 31mm in length, sub-triangular with a hollow base and struck from a tertiary flake of light grey flint. There is low-angle long scaled retouch around the base and long sides. The tip, which appears to have been worked from the proximal end of the flake, is damaged and now incomplete.
