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.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Bradford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the Bronze Age, 2400 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of grey flint with brown inclusions. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan with the tip missing, and is lentoid in cross section. It is broadly symmetrical in shape, with two notches chipped into the base of the flint to separate the barbs and the tang; both barbs are still intact. The tang and barbs all have square ends. Both faces are covered with scaled, low-angle retouch.

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…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the early Bronze Age or Beaker Period (c. 2400-1500 BC).
This arrowhead has been knapped from a light grey-white piece of flint and there is no cortex remaining. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan with sharp point and is lentoid in cross section. It is broadly symmetrical in shape, with two notches chipped into the base of the flint to separate the barbs and the tang, both barbs are still intact. Both the long sides of the arrowhead have been precisely retouched to create sharp edges. The obje…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint waste flake (debitage) probably of late Mesolithic to Neolithic date and reworked at a later Neolithic to Bronze age date.
The flint appears to have been hard hammer struck from a secondary flake, with a pronouced bulb of percussion and single striking platform with surviving cortex. On the dorsal face is a deep smooth concave thumb shaped depression with a single arise. There are crude removals, possibly damage at the end of the arise near the distal edge. The flake has been retouched on multiple areas with regular long scaled abrupt retouch comprising four rem…

Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint pebble macehead manufactured from a naturally perforated flint sponge fossil pebble of light grey flint. The object is sub triangular in shape and has been roughly worked with hard hammered flaking around all sides; the central piercing is unworked and comprises the natural void of the sponge body. There is extensive battering damage around the exterior, likely from use.
Artefacts of this type are presumed to be of Mesolithic date.

Object type: PICK
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint 'Thames pick' of Mesolithic date, 154.5mm in length, struck from a long flint pebble or nodule of dark grey flint. The proximal end / butt end of the tool retains its light brown cortex and the cross section of the tool appears to follow the original sub rounded profile of the nodule, with only the front portion being worked with hard hammered removals. The cutting edge is wedge shaped and appears to have some use-related damage; originally the tip may have been shaped with one or more tranchet removals but these are no longer particularly clear.
