Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Neolithic worked stone possibly an axehead rough-out or crude scraper, probably dating between c. 3500 - 2100BC The worked stone is complete (with a length of 136.8mm, a maximum width of 111.3mm, a maximum thickness of 50mm and a weight of 999.8g). The stone is a fine-grained greenstone from the 'Langdale axe factory' (Group VI) and has been partially shaped by flaking, mostly around the edges. The stone is sub-rounded, consistent with water rolling.

Prehistoric flint scraper, probably of Neolithic date The scraper appears to be incomplete, missing one side and would have broken in antiquity (with a length of 49.1mm, a surviving width of 34.7mm, a thickness of 14.1mm and a weight of 24.1g). The retouch is present on all of the presumed original edge, up to the striking platform. The flint is non-cortical and unpatinated, mid-grey.

Prehistoric flint knife, probably of Neolithic date The knife is of sub-triangular form and is incomplete, missing part of the retouched edge (with a length of 47.5mm, a width of 36.4mm, a thickness of 10.7mm and a weight of 16.8g). The retouch was confined to one edge and only survives on the distal end, abutting the cortex. The opposite edge may have been deliberately backed. Cortex is present on the distal side and there is a recessed flaw on the ventral surface. The flint has light patination.

Prehistoric flint tool, possibly a knife of Neolithic date The knife is of sub-triangular form and is complete (with a length of 56.5mm, a width at the butt of 28.9mm, a maximum thickness of 9.7mm and a weight of 15.3g). The tool is bifacially worked but largely confined to the edges and is retouched rather than pressure-flaked. The retouch extends along both edges and the proximal end has also been retouched, largely removing the striking platform. The flint is non-cortical and has patinated pale yellow -white.

Prehistoric flint knife or awl, probably of Neolithic date The knife is incomplete with the tip fragment represented (with a surviving length of 32.2mm, a maximum thickness of 4.0mm and a weight of 2.3g). Although the knife appears to have broken across its width (where it has a width of 15.5mm), there appears to be retouch over the break, perhaps suggesting the tip was deliberately backed and implying a possibly secondary use as an awl. Both sides are retouched along their entire surviving lengths, as they converge to the tip. The retouch is confined to the dorsal surface, although …

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete, unfinished flint oblique arrowhead of the Late Neolithic period. The arrowhead made from a sub-triangular tertiary flake of blue-grey patinated flint with an unfinished barb projecting from the left side of the base. The barb is c. 13mm long and 15mm wide at its widest point. The ventral surface shows signs of hinging towards its left edge. There is sporadic inverse retouch, with some 18mm of scaled retouch on the right edge of the ventral surface towards the base, and a notch formed in the middle of the left edge. The left edge of the dorsal surface has near-c…

Neolithic partially polished stone mace head dating to 3rd millennium BC (c. 2800 – 2100BC) The polished mace-head is complete or near-complete (with a length of 98.8mm and a weight of 395.2g) and is of unusual form with a well-defined blade at one end. The butt is rounded and convex (61mm wide, 9mm deep and approximately 20mm thick) but is battered and irregular, possibly resulting from its use as a hammer. Both sides are near-straight, slightly concave across their lengths (83mm and 76mm) and rounded across their widths. The mace head is widest at the blade (with a width of 7…

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.

Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flint Hollow-Based arrowhead The arrowhead incomplete, missing the tip (with a surviving length of 31.6mm and a weight of 3.0g). The arrowhead is made on a flake with the bifacial retouch confined to one side and the concave base (where the arrowhead has a width of 21.3mm). The arrowhead has a maximum thickness (of 4.9mm) midway along the retouched edge. The flint is non-cortical has differential patination. The missing tip may indicate that the arrowhead has impacted while being used.

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).
