Approximately half of an Early Bronze Age "cushion" type stone mace head, c.2350-1501 BC. This mace eas broken transversely in antiquity though the hourglass perforation, this was worked from both faces with a pecking stone and a pointed borer until they met in the middle, creating the distinctive profile of the shaft hole. The stone appears to be Dolerite, of fine grained grey/green composition, with the original surfaces (including the breaks) now patinated with iron oxides. This type of stone is a semi-common find as water-worn pebbles on Norfolk beaches and rivers as a …

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic to Bronze Age struck flint scraper, c.4000-2000 BC. This tool was struck from mottled light grey flint. It is formed on a round, natural flake, probably a pot lid fracture, which is fairly rounded. There is cortex on part of the dorsal face, and the other part is a patinated previous removal scar, probably also from a pot lid fracture. The retouch is on the ventral face along about a quarter of the perimeter. It is short, abrupt and sub-parallel.
