Five flint cores and core fragments, some with evidence of retouch. First core weighs 33.8 grams. Flat piece with cortex to top and bottom. Working around three sides includes evidence for flake removal and working off several edges including the edge of the natural break on the fourth side. Medium brown flint with a paler and darker mottling. Second core weighs 35.8 grams. Large flake removed off a core, probably a core refreshment flake. The piece has a large bulb of percussion and ripples on the ventral side where the piece was removed from the core. There is evidence (short …

Four Mesolithic utilised waste flakes (8300-3500 BC). Numbers refer to photograph. All the flakes are from a mid brown flint with pale beige mottling. Flakes 1 and four are almost completely covered in mottling. Flake 1. A secondary, core refreshment, flake with retouch. There is a small amount of cortext remaining at the distal end (tip). It was hit off a prepared platform which had become faceted. There are signs of wear and retouch along the right edge of the dorsal (upper) face. Towards the distal end, short, semi-abrupt parallel retouch has been used to create a concave curve lea…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Neolithic knapped flint axe, consisting of the broken butt-end of the axehead (c. 3500-2100 BC). Type A. The remains are sub-triangular in plan, with a narrowed, almost pointed butt end and a small portion of the axe body. The axehead has been well-knapped over both surfaces and there are extensive covering removals. It has a lentoid cross-section. A break, likely due to use, has fractured the axehead and the latter portion of the tool including the rounded cutting edge is now missing; the remaining portion probably consists of between 1/3-1/2 of the original length, but…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of Late Upper Paeleolithic material from several sites on adjoining areas of the Seven Sisters. The material was examined firstly by Jill Cook of the British Museum who suggested a Late Upper Paleolithic date and secondly by Matt Pope of ASE who agreed the dating was possible. The collection consists of 16 flakes, some with re-touch or use wear which were found erroding out of the edges of paths and bare patches of earth on the Seven Sisters. Due to foot and other traffic the flints are vulnrable to modern damage and snapping and are also at risk from cliff erosion. The …

Later Upper Palaeolithic flake (15,000-8,300 BC). The flake surface shows evidence cortex reforming giving an indication of the age of the flake, it is also patinated from light grey to white reflecting the deposition chalk downland. On the dorsal surface (upper face) there are arrises from previous flake removals and sign of platform preparation and at the distal end (tip) there is some natural cortex, giving a square end to the flake. The bulb of percussion can be seen on the ventral surface (lower face) and there is possible use wear on both edges. Weight: 11.69g, Length: 56.98mm,…

Mesolithic utilised waste flake (8300-3500 BC). On the ventral surface (lower face) the ripples are evident though the bulb of percussion is missing. Some natural cortex survives at proximal end (butt) of the dorsal surface (upper face). There is retouch along the right edge of the dorsal surface as well as some retouch on the left edge at the distal end (point), this corresponds to retouch along the right edge of ventral surface. The direction of the retouch suggests it may have been utilised as a borer. Weight: 35.23g, Length: 56.60mm, Width: 31.85mm, Thickness: 22.34mm.
