A bifacially knapped fragmentary handaxe of a yellow-brown flint. It is very coarsely knapped, with large and angular removals covering both faces. the flint itself is somewhat freckled and mottled with darker brown spots, in addition to some quite significant iron staining on the ventral face, where cracks and scarring are also clearly visible. It is suggested to be of Lower Palaeolithic date.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A late Neolithic barbed and tanged arrowhead, of a rather irregular shape, and with the ends of both barbs being broken off. It has not been knapped flat due to the natural shape of the flint, and thus appears somewhat lumpy, without the natural elegance of many examples of this kind of artefact. It is of a grey flint, although there are lines of a darker grey, almost black colour in addition to some patinisation markedly on the tang.

Three bifacially knapped blades of late Palaeolithic date which appear to be side scrapers in a light grey flint. Two are of the relatively standard rectangular shape, although they vary in profile with one being almost flat and the other having steeper faces and presenting a higher dorsal line. The third scraper is kite-shaped (deltoid) and is thicker than the first but still appears flatter than the second of its companions with regards to profile (despite the contradicting measurements!). A small amount of cortex is retained on the distal end, although all three flints suffer from w…

One scraper and two small microliths from an area where many other Mesolithic flints have been discovered. The scraper is an end scraper, and is almost fan-like in shape, albeit a little more rounded. It is of dark grey flint and a large amount of the white cortex remains on the ventral face. The bulb of percussion and removal marks are clearly visible, and the meeting point with the cortex is very clearly demarcated - the circular sweep of removal is cut in a very deliberate and determinant fashion. The two microliths are also of the dark grey flint, but both are severely patinised…

A late Mesolithic flint scraper, roughly bifacial along a distinct dorsal ridge, off which the faces fall sharply. One area along this ridge, however, has been deliberately flattened out to form a small platform, and the ventral face is completely flat. The scraper is made of a dark grey flint and suffers from both severe patinisation on the ventral side and iron staining on the dorsal. Other than this it is in good condition, and a similar example may be found in Bond (2002, 121; ref. 90).

Five different flint implements all from the same location within an area known to have large numbers of Mesolithic flints on the surface. There are two scrapers and three microliths, all of the same dark grey flint common to the locality. The scraper is quite large and crescent shaped, but only half the cortex has been removed on the dorsal face, exposing only the cutting edge, while all of it has been removed on the ventral face. The cortex runs almost exactly along the halfway line of the object, presenting a possibly deliberately contrasting effect. One of the microliths exhibits a…

A set of nine lithic implements all from the same location, found in an area known to be a Mesolithic flint hotspot. The group comprises six different microliths, one side scraper, one core and one waste flake of early Mesolithic date. The core is a typical Mesolithic bi-polar type, of a greyish colour with some patinisation on the dorsal face. Removals are clearly visible, and the remnants of the core itself form an almost square shape. Further examples may be found in Bond (2002, 103) for comparison.

Two Mesolithic implements from a prolific area, found in association with each other. One is a small microlith of grey flint, the colour of which becomes darker at the thicker centre of the object. It is of a trapezoidal form, and appears to be almost blade-like were it not for the distinctive angle on the left side. The shape is indicative of the later Mesolithic, and a parallel may be found in Bond (2002, 119; ref.: 5.103:21). The second implement appears to be an end scraper, and is made of the same grey flint, although much of the cortex has been left on the right side of the i…

A group of five late Mesolithic flint implements all found together, comprising four microliths and a single waste flake. Of the microliths, two are small lunate shaped microliths, and one is lunate shaped but much larger than the others, although all three clearly present the typical semi circular shape associated with this type of microlith. The fourth microlith is broken in one corner, but appears to present a triangular geometric form, of scalene type. The waste flake appears as if removals have been made from it, probably of more small microliths, rendering it equivalent almost to…

A set of four lithic implements all found together, of different kinds but all dating to the Mesolithic period. The first object is a microlith of an obliquely blunted point type, demonstrating the typical curved outline with a flat back. It retains some cortex, but only on the distal end. Two pieces are waste flakes, which retain large amounts of the original cortex, but have patinised around stress lines, changing their original dark grey colour to a lighter shade. The final implement is somewhat perplexing, it has clearly been struck and removals have been made, but not enough to re…

Two late Mesolithic lithic implements found in association: a small microblade and an equally small microlith, both are characteristically late Mesolithic in date. As shown in the dimensions below, the blade is incredibly small and all knapping work that has taken place is very precise and detailed. Some parts of the white cortex cling to the dark grey flint; their removal would have badly upset the balance of the object. The microlith is of the same dark grey flint, and some patinisation has taken place, leaving the typical white patterning on the ventral face. The bulb of percussion …

Two Mesolithic microblades, both of a grey flint with an almost blue tinge. They are quite small and fine and must have demanded some very careful shaping to achieve their regular, rectangular form.

Six separate finds, all of Mesolithic date, four of which are microliths, one of which is a large burin and one is a small but surprisingly thick waste flake. Of the four microliths, two are of dark grey black flint and two are of a more brown flint colour. Two are of an middle Mesolithic C type, being blunted down one edge and across the base, although different in their specifics: one is base blunted obliquely, while the other is 'trapeze' shaped, with concave blunted edges. Very similar examples of these types may be found in Bond (2001, 97; refs. C1a, C8c). The remaining two mi…

A set of three Mesolithic flint tools all found together at a single location, a known source of Mesolithic flint implements of various types. All three are broadly bifacial, with retouching evident, but are representative of a graver, and two microliths which are described respectively below: The graver is of a dark, almost black flint, and almost appears to be coated in translucent bubbles, which are in reality very rough scars from a short and sharp knapping process.

A range of fourteen flint implements of Mesolithic date, all found within the same vicinity. Half of the assemblage constitute flakes (debitage or waste material), some of which have been heavily struck, as has a core. In light of the presence of such a high percentage of waste it is difficult to infer that the set was deposited during the creative process, although this is clearly one explanation for the presence of such a large group. The implements include one microlith and one side scraper. The microlith is very thin and is in the shape of a triangular prism, with two much sharp…

A very neat bifacially knapped small blade, with two distinct cutting edges and the proximal end also sharpened. The flint itself is a dark grey colour, with smaller darker blotches which are almost black in places. The right cutting edge could be chipped, but could equally simply be irregular removal of flakes during sharpening. The shape is suggestive of a straight backed blade, and parallels may be found in Bond (2004, 89; refs. 5, 6) which suggest that the blade is of Upper Palaeolithic date.

An ovate flint handaxe of Lower Palaeolithic date. The implement is bi-facially worked and roughly symmetrical both in plan and profile. The flake removals cover the whole of both surfaces, and colour varies from a dark orange-brown to pale grey and buff, the majority being of a yellow shade. There is a small shallow hole on the ventral face, at the proximal end which looks deliberate due to its regular shape. In addition to this, also on the ventral face, there are two incised lines which are deeper than the knapped surface.

Record ID: HAMP-D090F5
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A multiplatform mesolithic flint core of dark flint with very little iron staining. The cortex remains visible on the distal end and along the ventral side. Relatively little has been removed from the core, and the negative flake scars remain very visible, and Classical Alternate Flaking is suggested as having occurred.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, with small amounts of iron stain forming on the dorsal side. There is some patina on the right side of the dorsal side. On the ventral side there is a completely flat face; there are three clear faces on the dorsal. The point is broken off and there is a small chip in the left cutting edge, when looking at the dorsal face. The very deliberate leaf shape leads to the conclusion that this is an arrowhead rather than a microlith, and the date of Later Neolithic is suggested by a similar example, albeit more damaged, in Bond (2004, 142; ref. F140).

Record ID: HAMP-CF2F28
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, probably Late Neolithic in date (based on the most similar examples in Bond (2004, 147; ref. 180). One barb is broken with the point missing. The tang is relatively thick (6.9mm) and appears off centre due to a small chip. The point of the head is also snapped off.
