County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible late Bronze Age/Iron Age flint hammerstone dating to c 1000-1BC.  The hammerstone comprises a flint nodule which has the cotex retained at the bottom as the hammer area.  The sides have flaked to create a comfortable position to hold the stone.  The top has been roughly shaped and may also have been used for hammering.

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible lithic implement dating to the late Bronze age or Early Iron Age, c. 1000 - 350 BC. The tool is crudely worked from a natural flint flake. It has a triangular cross section. The dorsal side has a large negative scar and one long edge has short abrupt retouch. Iron staining is present on the ridges of sides. Measurements: length: 99.89mm; width: 55.33mm; thickness: 30.21mm; weight: 163g. The use of natural flakes in this way is a feature of the later lithic industries.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper likely of late Bronze Age to Iron Age date. Description: The scraper is ovoid, with large sweeping rounded edges. The scraper is triangular in cross-section. The scraping edge is formed from irregular invasive semi-abrupt retouch at the proximal end (striking platform end), this changes towards the distal end to abrupt indicating blunting of the corner. The retouch is struck from the both faces. The dorsal side still has about a third of the mid brown cortex remaining. The ventral side has some working and a substantial teadrop shaped bulb of percussion and substant…

A flint scraper likely of late Bronze Age to Iron Age date. Description: The scraper is irregularly shaped, with a large sweeping rounded blade edge, a pointed butt and a slightly concave final edge opposite to the blade edge. The scraping edge is formed from irregular invasive semi-abrupt retouch. The reotuch is struck from the dorsal side. The dorsal side still has about a quarter of the mid brown cortex remaining. There is a some crushing on the concave edge through the cortex whcih may be to blunt this edge. The ventral side has no working a modest bulb of percussion and substa…

Object type: DENTICULATE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible coarse flint denticulate/scraper hybrid tool likely dating to the late Bronze Age or Iron age c.1000BC - 0BC . Description: The scraper was produced from a secondary flake, possibly accidentally created. The scraper is semi-circular in plan. Barring the retouch along the curved edge there is little obvious flaking, likely indicating the use of a natural or accidental flake, typical of flint manufacture after the middle Bronze Age. The curved edge has short scaled semi-abrupt retouch producing a scraping edge. At the top edge is a denticulate removal creating an indent w…

Workflow stage: Published
A large D-shaped flint scraper of uncertain date possibly Late Bronze Age to Iron Age c1000-0BC. Description: The scraper is formed from a large D-shaped flint and rather than being a worked flake is a bifacially worked 'core tool'. It is itrangular in cross-section with the base being rounded. The scraper has been shaped by hard hammer flaking and has a scraping edge along its flat edge. The retouch can be dsecribed as invasive scaled semi-abrupt. There is more retouch along one of the faces partially parralel to the scraping edge which has been carried out to blunt this edge. The…

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint implement of possible Neolithic to Bronze Age date (3500 BC-800 BC). The tool is sub-rectangular in plan and cross-section and has been manufactured on a flat piece of flint. The dorsal surfaces has a sandy/buff coloured cortex and the edges have been knapped to an abrupt angle with short, scaled and stepped removals. The ventral surface is flat and featureless and is covered in a thin layer of greyish brown cortex. This tool has an unusual form and may have been used for scraping. 116.43 x 35.36 x 21.06mm. Weight: 117.38g. No analogy found.

A small flint end scraper, almost square in shape at the distal end, before widening into a semi-circular proximal scraping and cutting surface. On the dorsal face this effect is somewhat marred by the presence of a relatively large amount of the cortex remaining at the proximal end. The flint is an irregular biface, with the ventral face very flat and smooth, despite a curve in the flint which is not really visible but may be felt. The flint itself is a grey colour, with areas of both lighter and darker grey shades, while the cortex is brown with an almost white surface showing throug…
