  • Thumbnail image of DENO-09F15E

Record ID: DENO-09F15E
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A blunted Mesolithic to Neolithic scraper, dating to c. 9000 - 1500 BC. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars. The proximal and distal ends have been blunted. The left- and right-hand edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length 62.09 mm, width 22.59 mm, thickness 6.46 mm and weight 9.18 g.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete axe head of late neolithic date (c. 3000 - 2000 BC), hand knapped and pecked from a dark dense, probably igneous rock, although the original surface is hard to determine due to the abundance of peck marks.  The axe is broadly a pointed oval in plan and is sub-oval (humped) in cross section. In plan the axe head tapers from a rounded cutting edge to a blunted point at the butt. In profile it is thickest at the mid-point and tapers towards the butt and cutting edge. The cutting edge is well formed, mostly intact except for small chips; the surface of the axe is …

An complete flint Neolithic leaf shaped arrow head. There is retouch on both faces. The flint is opaque blue-grey. The flint is 32 mm in length, 21.5 mm in width and 5mm thick, weight is 3g. It is leaf shaped tapering to a flat base, probably the result of a break. The edges are worked down to the break, it is possible the base was rounded, as in Green's type 1A. ( Green 1980 fig 26)

A small assemblage of 14 pieces of Mesolithic chert debitage, c9000 - 4000BC, all recovered from the same location. The implements are debitage, or waste material, produced during the knapping process. The ventral surfaces of several pieces display waves of percussion, from the striking process and the dorsals display evidence of some flake removal. None of the pieces show signs of any retouch. All are tertiary flakes. The largest blade, is a dark grey translucent flint, with small striking platform, small bulb and waves of percussion on its ventral surface, some flake removal from th…

Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A Palaeolithic sub-cordate hand axe, Both faces have small area of thin, smooth cortex while one flake has a large 'pot lid' scar (equally patinated and stained brown as the rest of the hand axe). Flakes have been removed from both surfaces to shape the axe. It is an elongated oval in plan, tapering toward a pointed cutting end. The edges of the axe are damaged and worn. The appearance of the hand axe is suggestive that it is derived from a gravel deposit. Length 152mm, width 85.7mm, thickness 38.9mm, weight 523.6g Found on Happisburgh beach, Norfolk, summer 2008
