Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic to early Bronze Age rounded scraper tool dating to 3300 - 1600 BC. Made from a primary flake of semi-translucent mottled mid to dark grey flint with a mid-gloss patina. Thick nodular cortex remains on around 95% of the central dorsal face. The scraper tool is sub-oval with a rounded distal end. The dorsal face shows short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch around the distal end. The ventral face shows a prominent bulb of percussion and bulbar scar indicating probable use of a hard hammer.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint leaf shaped arrowhead. It is slightly ogival with a slightly rounded proximal end. It has some modern edge damage to one lower corner. One face shows invasive scaled, low-angle pressure flaking, with some of the original dorsal surface remaining. The other face shows covering scaled, low angle pressure flaking.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint polished or edge-ground knife. The knife us sub-angular with rounded corners. Made on a tertiary flake of mid grey flint with lighter grey patches and dark grey bands.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core tool, probably a flaked axehead fragment. The flint was originally mid-grey flint, now covered in a smooth layer of blue-white re-cortification giving an opaque, matt patina. The axe probably had an oval cross section. A small amount of cortex remains on the centre of one face and many ridges show traces of iron staining. There are multiple flake removal scars on one face and fewer on the other forming the cutting edge. The flakes are invasive and parallel. The object has been broken along the long axis and across the body.

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A leaf shaped arrowhead made from a secondary flake of heavily patinated mottled flint. It is sub-oval with a small amount of cortex at the one end. The original colour of the flint is probably mid to dark grey, but this in now covered in a smooth off-white layer of recortification giving the flint an opaque, low-gloss patina.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete polished stone axehead, probably of Langdale Tuff. The axehead has an asymmetrical break at the butt end. The surface of the axe is granular but smooth with a distinct grey-green hue.
