Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete stone axehead. Oval shaped in section, the rounded but and blade ends are missing. One side has laminated away, and a large section missing from approximately 50% of the opposite side. The widest edge is 62mm and the narrowest end is 46mm. It is 11mm thick and 102mm long. It weighs 154.6g.

Object type: POUNDER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A stone (probably dolerite or epidiorite) pounder or hammer, bell-shaped in plan and profile, likely made from a natural cobble. The wider end of the stone appears to have been broken from its original form, but use has continued creating a smooth surface. The narrow end shows little sign of use and was probably only used for the hand to grip the tool. Ashbee (1996) illustrates a similar example from Halangy Down on St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly, which he suggests might have been used as a limpet hammer or for pulverising grit for tempering potter's clay, or woodworking, (page 1…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete ground and polished Langdale axehead. Made from an Igneous green stone which is probably sourced from the Lake District, Cornwall or Wales. The side facets are polished. The butt end is broken away and the blade edge and one side are chipped,most likely caused post-depostion rather than ancient use-wear. One face is slightly flattened, while the opposite face has more deliberate flattening. The broken butt end is worn, suggesting an old break. Dr. Tom Brindle writes: "Grinding occurs after 4000 BC, so this axe is likely to have a date range of between 4000-2500 BC…
