An incomplete leaf-shaped arrow head dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic 4000 BC - 2700 BC. The arrowhead is leaf shaped in plan tapering to a point. All edges have low angle retouch. The flint is light grey with dark grey inclusions throughout. The tip is broken and missing. This form fits Butler's (2005: 123) type 1C which suggests and Early to Middle Neolithic date (ibid: 125). He notes that these arrowheads would have been hafted on to the end of a wooden shaft and secured with twine and resin and that these partially-flaked types were quickly made …

An early Mesolithic flaked flint biface adze "Thames pick" (10,000-7,000BC). The adze has been 'roughed out' from a flint nodule or pebble. It is roughly oval in cross section. Viewed edge-on along its longitudinal axis the adze tapers slightly from the broadly rounded butt towards the more pointed cutting edge. Viewed from above, the butt and cutting edge are both rounded and the sides are approximately straight and parallel. There are signs of crushing along sections of both edges. There are numerous conchoidal fractures and large flake removal scars extending from the edges on both…
