Object type: FABRICATOR
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Mesolithic or Early Neolithic flint fabricator dating to the period c. 10,000-2701BC. The fabricator is broadly triangular in section. It consists of one smooth slightly concave side and two curved sides which meet to form the top of the triangle. Both upper surfaces are almost entirely flaked. One end narrows to form a heavily abraded point. The opposite end is wider and ., possibly as a result of having been hafted. The flint is off-white in colour with pale blue-grey patches and some iron staining along the worked edges.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
A late Mesolithic flint bladelet dating to the period c. 7000 - 4001 BC. The bladelet is sub-rectangular in plan with a slight curve along the length of the blade and a diagonal flaw across both sides of the blade. The dorsal surface exhibits three negative flake removal scars with two smaller negative flake removal scars which terminate at the diagonal flaw. The ventral surface retains a small bulb of percussion, indicating manufacture by soft-hammer striking. The flint is mottled mid - light grey in colour. There is some evidence of short, abrupt, scaled retouch along both sides.

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint possible side-and-end scraper of Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (c. 4000 - 1600 BC). The scraper is struck off a tertiary flake and displays no remaining cortex, although there are off-white inclusions. The dorsal surface exhibits one negative flake scar at a right angle to the striking platform, indicating that the flake may have been struck off a multiple platform core. The scraper exhibits short scaled semi-abrupt retouch along the mesal and distal edges. The other mesel edge does not exhibit any retouch and appears to have been broken off. The scraper exhibits a large …
