Record ID: DOR-EECCA5
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-rectangular flint scraper. Made on a tertiary flake of dark orange-brown to beige flint with a covering yellowed mid-gloss patina.There is a remnant of the striking platform retained at the proximal end and a pronounced bulb of percussion on the ventral face. There are remnant flaking scars on the dorsal surface. Around 75 percent of the outer edge, extending along both side margins and around the distal end, has irregular, semi-invasive to steep retouch struck from the ventral face, creating a slightly asymmetrical scraping edge which has become overhanging at the distal end.

A discoidal flint scraper. Made on a tertiary flake of mid-grey and off-white mottled flint with a covering grey-white, mid-gloss patina.There is a wide striking platform retained at the proximal end and a pronounced bulb of percussion on the ventral face. There are remnant flaking scars on the dorsal surface. Around 80 percent of the outer edge, extending from both sides of the striking platform and around the distal edge, has scalar to irregular steep retouch struck from the ventral face, creating a steep, curving convex scraping edge.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible tranchet axe. A small, irregularly flaked flint axe with an apparent failed tranchet sharpening at the cutting edge. Pale grey and beige flint with a heavy chalky off-white patina and iron staining. Both long edges are extensively flaked from both faces, creating a ridged lozengiform cross section. One long edge is straight, the other is slightly wavy. It has a narrow, tapered butt. The opposite end has some edge damage and the cutting edge may have been more flared. There is a small flake removal at one edge. but the flake did not travel far enough across to create a prope…

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched secondary flint flake dating to 4000 BC - 2350 BC. Sub-oval in shape, the flint is semi-opaque, mid-beige and has a mid-gloss patina, surfaces are covered in a smooth, thin, speckled layer of re-patination with areas of reddish brown ferrous staining mainly to flake scar ridges. A very small amount of cortex remains on the right side margin. The dorsal face shows a large broad flake removal scar across the centre and crude, scaled retouch to 75% of sides. The ventral face shows a fairly prominent bulb of percussion and large bulbar scar indicating probable use of a hard ha…

A late Neolithic to early Bronze Age end scraper dating to 3300 BC - 1600 BC. Made on a sub-oval tertiary flake of opaque, grey Portland chert with a characteristic low-gloss patina. The dorsal face shows broad flake scars across the central area and fairly crude scaled, semi-abrupt retouch to the distal end. There is a notch along the right side margin although this does not look purposefully made as the chert is of a darker colour so probably due to plough damage. The ventral face is curved and shows no apparent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a soft hammer.

A thumbnail scraper of Late Neolithic ro Early Bronze Age date (Beaker period) c 2400 BC - 2200 BC. Made on a sub-oval tertiary flake of semi-translucent, mid-brown flint with a mid-gloss patina. The scraper is now completely covered in a smooth layer of off-white speckled recortification with a very dense area in the centre of the dorsal face. The dorsal face shows covering, scaled, abrupt retouch across the central area with very fine scaled retouch to all margins. The ventral face shows no apparent bulb of percussion indicating probable use of a soft hammer.
