County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete probable Late Neolithic flint implement (2700 BC-2351 BC). This implement has been fashioned from an elongated pebble. One end has been knapped to form a sharp point and the edges at the tip have been retouched. One edge has been retouched on both faces and has short, low angle, parallel and sub-parallel removals. The other edge, retouched on one face only, has short, low angle parallel removals. The butt end is rounded. About 65% of the surface is cortex which varies in colour from off-white to orange with dark grey speckling. Length: 160.0mm; width: 48.5mm; thick…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete Late Neolithic (2500-2100 BC) flint polished axehead (or perhaps adze), with damage to the cutting edge and broken some distance before the butt end. It is rectangular in shape although with a pronounced curve, visible in both edges (one concave, one convex). It is pointed oval in cross-section and at the break measures 35.27x15.30mm. At the cutting edge it measures 39.62x9.07mm. The axehead is 67.81mm in length and weighs 66g. The axehead has been polished behind the cutting edge on both faces, although the cutting edge itself is missing due to damage. Behind, flake r…

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Central Bedfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Mesolithic flint microlith. The piece is sub-triangular, with a horizontal break (possibly deliberate) at the wider end. A longitudinal ridge extends down the centre of the dorsal surface, creating a triangular profile. Blunting appears to be confined to the longer side, where it has occurred along the entire length. The point has been cut off, removing the bulb-of-percussion, the original position of which is indicated by the direction of the ripples on the ventral surface. The flint is patinated and bluish-grey. Length: 25.4mm; width: 12.8mm; thickness: 2.1mm; weight: 0.62g.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Toffee coloured clouded and opaque flint. Knife. Narrow rod shaped blade. Four very long parallel flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect confer an angular plano-convex profile; very faint rippling on the ventral side shows where the flake was detached from a core. Some slight abrasions along the edge have been smoothed. Though the object has a glossy surface overall, possibly a result of curation in antiquity, the context could equally suggest this appealing finish to be the result of wave action. Kevin Leahy kindly comments as follows: 'An interesting object. Without retouch t…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint side scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC).The lithic is sub-spatulate in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with a central corresponding arrise. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted and there is a minor amount of scaled flaking at the distal end. The dorsal surface has voids situated along the length of the mesial section which are naturally occurring within the calcite cortex. The left hand proximal edge has a tapering or notched aspect. All edges with the exception of the proximal contain fine…

A complete flint pickaxe, probably dating from the Mesolithic period (c. 10,000 BC to c. 4,001 BC). This would appear to be a double-ended implement, with a pick at one end and an axe-like blade at the other. Most of the surface of the original nodule has been removed, but one side in particular retains a significant portion of its cortex. The narrowest point is at the pick end, where the surfaces have been deliberately sloped to point, which exhibits signs of wear. The sides gradually diverge from this point, the implement reaching a maximum width approximately one third of the way…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date. The implement is a petit tranchet arrowhead which is sub-triangular in plan and rectangular in section with one edge shallower than the other. Both surfaces are smooth and extensive retouch is present along the left and right edges. The cutting edge has been formed by the removal of a single tranchet flake. A small notch is present at the butt of the implement which shows signs of retouch suggesting it may have been reused as a spoke shave or similar. The flint is a mid brownish-grey colour with lighter and black inclusions. The …

A flint tertiary waste flake of probable Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date. The flake is incomplete, the remaining portion having parallel long sides which then converge to a point. This point may be the result of a breakage rather than being an original feature; the other end of the flake also shows evidence of having been broken in antiquity. The dorsal surface exhibits two parallel arrises. The ventral surface has rippling but the striking point has been lost. The flint is a heavily patinated greyish-white with one patch of brownish-grey. Dimensions: 41.2mm long, 22.1mm w…

County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tertiary flake, probably dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. The piece is sub-rectangular in plan and of triangular section, with a vertical arrise at the centre of the dorsal surface. A small portion of the core platform remains, adjacent to which, on the ventral surface, there is a bulb scar. The edges of the flake are irregular, probably as a result of natural wear, and there is no evidence that this piece was ever used as a tool. The flint is patinated, light to mid blueish-grey. Dimensions: 24.9mm long, 15.6mm wide, 5.3mm thick. Weight: 2.32g.

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped lithic implement of early Bronze Age date. The implement is roughly figure of eight-shaped in plan with an irregular plano-convex section. Evidence of knapping is only present in one area of the implement where a semi-circular notch has been created with steep sides which taper to form a sharp edge. The limited knapping suggests this piece was a naturally occurring flint with the notch removed for a function. The flint is a mid whitish-brown colour with no evidence of cortex re-growth. The implement is 66.2mm long, 37.6mm wide, 15.5mm thick and weighs 36.1g.
