A flint blade of probable Neolthic to early Bronze Age date. There are multiple parallel flaking scars on the dorsal face. The butt is narrow and the bulb of percussion prominant suggesting that it was struck using a hard hammer. There is a small amount of crude, short, abrupt retouch along the left edge of the dorsal face with a slight notch in the centre.  Length: 51.2mm, width: 24.1mm, thickness: 7.0mm, weight: 9.62g

A late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flint scraper, dating to 4000 - 2350 BC. The scraper has been made possibly from a secondary waste flake and an area of creamy white speckled with blue cortex is visible on a third of the dorsal surface. The flint has a is dark brown patination on some of the surface. Small areas of micro-retouch can be seen along the long curved distal edge of the dorsal face. The ventral face has one small area of retouch at the distal edge.  Length: 30.5 mm Width: 25.4 mm Thickness: 9 mm Weight: 9.1 g

Impressively banded igneous stone “slipper” mace head, the stone is fine-grained with grey/green layers between whiteish layers, the perforations were never completed; pecked and/or bored from both faces but now left as opposing “cups” to each face c. 23 mm dia. and each 11 mm deep, there was only c. 7 mm of unperforated stone  before the two would meet up. The surface has a small amount of fine, granular loss but essentially it is in good condition. Possibly locally made from a glacial erratic water worn pebble chosen for the aesthetics of the stone…

Elongated, thin butted flaked axe: - of mottled dark grey and light grey flint with a slight orange patination to the surfaces, this orange is more pronounced to the sinuous coarse inclusion to the flatter of the two faces. All flake scars are soft hammer struck with feathered flake terminations, all confidently struck. The cutting edge is very slightly rounded, one side of which is recently damaged, another small loss to the mid-point to one edge above the missing cutting edge as well, and another loss to the opposing edge, just below the butt, these show the original colour of the …

Large part-polished axe in excellent condition, of orange patinated flint with the coarse inclusions now a pale off-white colour, the very tip of the butt retains the original grey colour of the flint, one face has a couple of light iron scrapes from agricultural machinery. One lateral edge is lightly damaged recently, this interrupts the ground and minimally rounded edges of the axe, the cutting edge is almost a perfect semi-circle in plan and is ground and polished, not quite removing the flake scars from the surface, similar work to smooth off the high points to both faces has been…

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flake dating to c.4000-2400 BC. The scraper is made from a secondary flake of dark grey flint without any cortex remaining. It has a glossy patina. The flake is an irregular lozenge shape in cross section and sub-triangular in plan. The ventral surface has short, sub-parallel, low-angled retouch running along the left edge just below the striking platform. There is also further sub-parallel, low-angled retouch along the length of the left edge of the dorsal face.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end-scraper of Neolithic or Bronze Age date struck from a secondary flake of pale brown flint, 55mm in length. The distal end has short abrupt scaled and sub-parallel retouch around it. A large patch of buff coloured cortex remains across nearly half of the dorsal surface, around a fossil channel inclusion which pierces the stone at an angle. The struck surfaces have a white patina (recortication) from prolonged deposition in calcareous sediments.

An incomplete flint blade, 55.7mm in length and of Mesolithic date, struck from a dark brown coloured flint. The blade has a triangular cross section and has broken at both ends. There is possibly low angle short scaled retouch along one side, but the heavily abraded condition makes this questionable.

Pale grey flint, appearing honey-coloured under transmitted light, arrowhead, as kindly identified by the finder. A thin sub-triangular flake [formerly triangular, tip lost leaving a positive hinge fracture at its end] with covering angled scalar retouch across both its sides. Very fine serrations along one long side are more easily felt than observed; a more limited zone of very short abrupt retouch appears on the opposite long edge. Misty patina on part of both sides suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. This object bears compa…

A flint side scraper probably dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period c. 4000-1500 BC. The object is worked from a secondary flake that retains a thin crust of white pebble cortex on one edge. It is made of mottled light grey flint with white patches that has a semi-glossy patina. The flake is sub-oval in plan and uneven in cross section. The striking platform survives as does a medium sized bulb of percussion from which conchoidal ripples emanate.  Two negative removal scars from the same direction are present on the dorsal face. There is no sign of retouch.…

A collection of four incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowheads each dating to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age c.2500-1500 cal BC. Each of the arrowheads are made from a tertiary flake of flint. Two are matte white colour with orange flecks. The second two are occasionally grey occasionally matte white. Each of the arrowheads has some damage either missing part of a barb, tang or arrow tip but would have shared the same broad form with one being slightly longer than the remaining three. In each case the breaks have the same patination as the r…
