Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Core rejuvenation blade, most likely to be of Neolithic date (c. 4000-2500BC). Made of flint. Length = 79.0mm; width = 28.0mm; thickness – 15.0mm; weight = 25.3g. The blade is struck from a blade core with the intention to refresh the striking platform of the core to enable further blades to be removed from it. Blades from such a core could have been retouched and made into scrapers, knives, or other tools.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic polished stone axe The axe is fragmentary, represented by approximately half with the blade-end present (with a surviving length of 108.3mm and a weight of 310.6g). The break occurred in antiquity but a further flake has been detached from the broken end and blade more recently. The axe has an oval body section, with a flat facet on each side (with a width at the break of 65.2mm, a thickness of 30.6mm and a side facet width of 4mm – 6mm). The surviving lengths of the side are near-straight, slightly convex (reaching a surviving maximum width of 66.4mm, 42mm from the b…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Prehistoric flint knife, probably of Neolithic date The flint is cortical and has patinated pale brown grey, made on beach pebble flint. The knife is complete made on an oval flake (47.3mm wide, 34.8mm long, 2.1mm thick and weighing 16.3g) which is retouched all along the edge except for the cortex on the dorsal face and also retouched ay the proximal end, to the side of the bulb of percussion on the ventral face. Flaking at the bulb may have been an attempt to thin the flake.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Later Neolithic flint chisel arrowhead of c. 2500 – 2100BC date The arrowhead is complete and is bi-facially worked but with more pressure-flaked retouch on the dorsal surface. The arrowhead is widest at the cutting edge with an edge formed from the flaking and has no secondary working. Ripples on the ventral surface indicate that the cutting edge would have been on the side of the flake, thinner side at the distal end. The flint is non-cortical and unpatinated grey-brown. Dimensions: length: 29.6mm; width: 30.7mm; maximum thickness: 5.2mm; weight: 3.2g

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Probable roughout for a an axehead of Neolithic date The roughout is complete and is comparably small for an axehead (with a length of 114.3mm and a weight of 199.4g) and is bifacially worked. Much of the flaking is directed from the edges and has not significantly thinned the roughout (with a maximum thickness of 32.7mm), with one of the faces (ventral) being considerably flatter. The roughout is of oval form, with convex sides (reaching a maximum width of 52.2mm) and with no obvious suggestion of a blade. The stone has some recent damage around the edges, but otherwise has thre…

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Polished stone axehead recorded at the Hidden Treasure Finds Day at the National Museum & Gallery, Wales. The axe is complete and is a comparatively large example. Evidence of shaping via pecking is evident over areas of the axe, particularly around the sides of the face. The remainder of the faces are polished. The axehead is of oval section, with gently convex sides. The butt is short and slightly angled (c. 5-10 degrees) from the vertical axis of the axehead. The blade is curved and has retained its sharp edge. One of the faces is slightly dished, probably because of the shape of th…

Record ID: NMGW-DE9E23
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Pembrokeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Butt fragment of a Neolithic stone axehead. The surface of the axe was ground or pecked, rather than polished. The axehead is made from an altered coarse dolorite, which is highly chloritic. The rock is likely to have originated from West Wales and is similar to sources which outcrop locally. The axehead has a pointed butt and rounded sides, which gently diverge. A little less than half of the original length survives. One of the faces shows evidence of damage through flaking, it is not clear whether this damage occurred in antiquity or more recently.
