Mesolithic notched flake or blade made of dark grey flint that has some cortex remaining at the distal end. The tool is rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. The ventral surface features a fairly large platform and diffuse bulb of percussion that dips to form a semi-concave surface with fine concentric ripples at the distal end. The proximal left edge of the ventral side has been retouched with long parallel abrupt flakes that extend to a notch. The right dorsal surface has been retouched to formed a notched flake.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Half of a perforated axe hammer or "mace head" made of a light redddish brown quartzite pebble. The perforated object is sub-oval in plan, with a flattened oval section. The perforation was formed by pecking with a hard, pointed stone from both sides leaving subtle raised area near the centre of the perforation. This object is different than other broken mace-heads or axe hammers on the database, as its proximal end  has been deliberately worn down at a 45 degree angle to the perforation. It is possible that this object was broken and then re-used as a pestel-like t…
