A flint chisel type arrowhead dating to the Late Neolithic, 3300 BC - 2200 BC. The arrowhead is 34.7mm in length, struck from a tertiary flake of light grey flint and worked in the form of an isoceles triangle with a curved cutting edge. There is abrupt and semi abrupt scaled retouch around the sides and low angle retouch on the cutting edge.

A tertiary struck flake of orange brown flint, possibly a late Neolithic flint tranchet / chisel arrowhead, 40.1mm in length. The object has a triangular plan with the bulb of percussion on one long side; this has been intentionally reduced with scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The broad end / cutting edge of the flake feathers from a tranchet removal but is not further retouched.

Workflow stage: Published
A Mesolithic tranchet axe. This axe is made out of ochre-coloured flint and has been bifacially worked. It now has a thick black covering following its depostion in a stream bed. The butt appears to have been broken diagonally. From the same findspot is a grey and glossy secondary flake with remaining cortex. There appears to be some secondary working along one long side. (46.39 x 26.42 x 6.58mm. Wt 7.42g.)

A roughout for a tranchet axe of Mesolithic date. The roughout appears to have been discarded before the shaping was complete as a large asymmetric lump with cortex protrudes from one end. The flint is patinated white.

A flint tranchet axehead of Mesolithic date, 140.1 mm in length and made from an orange brown flint. The object is narrow, with parallel sides and a sub triangular cross section, with flake removals across all sides. The distal end is wedge-shaped in profile with a pointed cutting edge. There are small patches of white cortex on both faces.

A flint tranchet axehead of Mesolithic date, 131.4 mm in length and made from a pale grey flint. The object is narrow, with parallel sides and a lozengiform cross section, with flake removals across all sides. The proximal end is rounded and the axehead tapers to a narrower distal end which has a cutting edge with a steep wedge-shaped profile, which appears to have been resharpened and has damage possibly from usage. There is a patch of buff coloured cortex on one face. The surface shows heavy white patination from proloned exposure to calcareous sediments.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small, crudely worked Mesolithic core tool ("Thames Pick") of dark brown-grey flint, 141.6mm in length. The object has a roughly lozengiform cross section and has been shaped with removals across all sides. The flint likely started out as an elongated nodule, as demonstrated by the retention of around 20% coverage of buff coloured cortex in patches around half of its circumference. The narrower end appears to have a tranchet removal and facetting to create a blunt point. There are extensive losses due to post depositional damage, which contrast against the white re-corticat…

A flint tranchet axehead or adze of Mesolithic date, 118.2 mm in length and made from a dark grey flint. The object is triangular in shape and flares from a narrow butt to a slightly oblique cutting edge defined by several oblique removals which gives it a wedge-shaped side profile. The axehead has flake removals across all sides and has two large concave removals along one side which may be post-depositional damage.

A Mesolithic tranchet adze made from brown flint, 83.3mm in length and 49.7mm wide. The adze has been made from a single large flake with a flat side and a convex side demonstrating further working and removal of characteristic final sharpening flake (Butler, 2005: 100). The edges and tip are damaged. Likely manufactured from a flint nodule obtained from local clay-with-flints outcrops on the chalk Downs.

A flint tranchet axe or 'Thames pick' of Mesolithic date, 166mm in length and made from a pale grey flint. The pick is narrow, with parallel sides and a sub triangular cross section, with flake removals across all sides.
