Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead of Early Bronze Age date (2500 BC - 1500 BC). The tip of the point and the barbs are missing. The tang is probably also slightly damaged. The arrowhead has been bifacially worked with pressure flaking along the edges in particular. The flint has a mid grey to white patina and the arrowhead measures 27.95mm in length, 16.75mm wide, 3.55mm thick and weighs 1.59 grams.

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete and abraded handaxe of probable Palaeolithic date. In plan the axe is broadly triangular in plan. In cross section the axe has a clear humped shape. The axehead is bi-facially worked although some of the flakes on both the dorsal and ventral faces are invasive with hinge fractures suggesting they are a result of uncontrolled 'natural flaking' through movement in the soil. The dorsal (upper) face of the axe has been worked in many differing directions and controlled flake scars can be seen in many places, there is visible cortex. The ventral (reverse) face has many heavil…
