Record ID: WILT-C6F765
Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete pointed flint handaxe dating to the Paleolithic. Handaxes were manufactured in Britain from 500,000 BC to 40,000 BC. The tool has been bifacially worked with removals struck from either edge on both faces. There is one small oval area of original cortex on the ventral face measuring 16.5mm x 10.7mm. The handaxe is almost completely recorticated with iron staining suggesting it rolled in water for a considerable time. However, there are a few places where the recortication has chipped off and the original colour of the flint can be seen to be a pale to mid grey. The thi…

Object type: BURIN
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic flint burin, dating to c. 10000 - 4000 BC. The burin is made of a tertiary flake of brown flint with a low gloss patina, the majority of the object has patinated to an off white pale blue. The tool is broadly sub-triangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section. The front face of the blade (dorsal face) has a number of areas of small retouch along both edges. The distal face has not been worked, ripple marks are visible.

Object type: FABRICATOR
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tool, probably a fabricator dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (c. 3,300-1000 BC).
The tool is sub-triangular in section and sub-rectangular in plan with long, parallel slightly convex sides. It has a curved rounded point at one end and opposing semi-circular notches at the other. The tool is bi-facially worked with invasive, scaled, flaked removal on both sides creating a steep sided dorsal face and a slightly convex ventral face. The flint is pale grey with white milky patches and spots. There are small areas of iron staining on some arises.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Gloucestershire
Workflow stage: Published
Flint blade, with roughly triangular section dating to the Late Upper Palaeolithic, c. 13,000-9,000BC.
The flake is mottled off-white recortified flint with a dark core a small area of the original cortex is visible on the flake's dorstal surface showing it to be a secondary product. Weak ripple marks on the ventral surface emanating from below a narrow bulb of percussion and platform at the narrow end. The blade is curved along its length.

Object type: LAUREL LEAF
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint laurel leaf dating to the early Neolithic period (c. 4000-2500 BC to 1200 BC). The object has been formed from a secondary flake of dark grey, semi-translucent flint. The remaining cortex is reddish-brown in colour. The tool is asymmetric, sub-lentoid in plan and roughly D-shaped in cross-section. The retouch across both faces is scaled and invasive becoming semi-abrupt to abrupt along cutting edges on opposing faces. The striking platform appears to be along the right hand edge of the ventral face with the ripples of percussion disappearing into the cortex.

Record ID: NLM-AA6A96
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint knife. Oval knife with abrupt hard hammer working from various directions covering both sides. There is a suggestion of battering along one edge of what may have been the dorsal aspect, to judge from the curved profile of the flake. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly suggests that the low angle retouch should suggest the identification of this object as a knife, rather than a scraper, which was the initial suggestion advanced by this reporter. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC.

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mottled grey flint with cortex at edge knife. Oval flake with long broad parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side, and with broader scars on the ventral, the latter probably struck from the other end but in both cases with prominent rippling. Together these conferred a sharp cutting edge. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-801.

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…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped probable gunflint blank from which gunflints for flintlock muskets of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1600 - 1900, could be produced.
Description: The flint is broadly rectangular in plan and resembles a stretched pillow shaped gunflint. with tapering sides and a trapezoidal cross-section. There is significant conchoidal rippling on the ventral side. The flint is dark grey with some mottled lighter areas. A probable accidental flake has been removed from the top edge.

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
Middle Paleolithic flint discoid hand axe, 84mm long, 71mm wide and 22mm thick with a weight of over 100grams. The object has a D shaped form with a flat striking platform? with intact cortex as a base. It has semi- invasive, scaled re-touch on both surfaces with semi-abrupt stepped re touch along its edge on one surface.
The shield shaped form of this axe with straight edge flanked by two corners is typical of the Bout Coupe axes associated with the Middle Palaeolithic Mousterian industry. However the lack of patination would not support such an early date. It is,however, possible…
