Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey-buff flint with very marked patina suggesting a long period of exposure to a calcareous environment; possible polished flint axehead fragment. A small chunk which may preserve the crescentic cutting edge of a polished flint axe; if this is so, the other side of the blade has been pitted by frost fractures and/or other impact damage, and the butt and most of the body of the axe are lost. Suggested date: Early to Mid Neolithic, 4000-2700 BC

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey metamorphic polished stone axe fragment. A chip identified by the finder as from a stone axe of darker metamorphic rock than the familiar Group VI axe-heads, from imported elsewhere in western Britain. Three long thin parallel flakes have been struck from the dorsal side by probably bipolar working [i.e. from both ends] leaving a concave ventral surface. This pattern of working would usually commend a later Mesolithic date, though the use of part of an axe may extend that date range into the early Neolithic. Another small fragment of similar stone has been reported from the v…

Object type: BACKED BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with re-formed cortex strip, probable backed blade. A sub-trapezoid flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and a low bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge, with the recortified opposite edge presumably retained to enable pressure to be brought to bear. A single angled scalar draft may represent trimming or flattening of the bulb on the ventral surface, and short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect appears along one narrower end, though the overall impression is of a sw…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint debitage fragment. A narrow chip retaining covering angled scalar retouch across its dorsal side and with part of a flat ventral surface remaining; the rest having been lost to granular or hackled damage probably arising from burning. These characteristics initially suggested identification as a plano-convex knife, but Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen kindly comments: 'This lacks the scaled flaking on the dorsal face to be categorised as a plano convex knife - see here for example Record ID: DOR-F1B3F4 - NEOLITHIC plano convex knife (finds.org.uk).

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey-green fine-grained Tuf, polished axehead fragment. A thick and battered fragment of a greenstone Group 6 Langdale axehead. One side retains part of the polished surface, which is elsewhere entirely lost to battering or abrasion; perhaps executed with oblique strokes of a hard hammer on the side opposite the relict surface, and perhaps arising from use as a pounder at the projecting parts of the stone. Langdale axes are more common around the Humber than anywhere except their quarry site. The re-use of this fragment from a large example does not appear to have respected its origin…

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a polished flint axehead dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000-2500 BC). The axehead has been very badly damaged, with mechanical damage evident. The remains of the axe comprises most of the cutting edge, which is beautifully polished and still sharp, and also a length of either the dorsal or ventral side. The breaks are jagged and sharp.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Neolithic stone axehead (4000 BC-2500 BC).
In plan, the sides flare evenly from the butt towards the cutting edge. It is pointed oval in side view and cross-section.
This greyish brown axehead is pitted due to weathering except for a few small high spots which are brown and polished. This type of stone does not occur in the Isle of Wight.
Length: 149.8mm; width: 56.0mm; thickness: 39.4mm. Weight: c. 420.0g.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Late-Neolithic ripple flaked arrowhead (c. 3300 - 2100 BC). This arrowhead is leaf-shaped, slender and with a mid-rib on one side only. The arrowhead appears to have had a barb on one side possibly from a broken indented scentral section. The arrowhead is triangular in section.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey stone polished axe fragment. A trapezoid flake which has spalled from the side or cutting edge of a polished stone axe head. The smooth finish and homogenous fabric might point to this being from a Group 6 axe made of tufa from Langdale, Cumbria. Suggested date: Early to Mid Neolithic, 4000-2700 BC.

Grey flint debitage fragment. A small thin chip of struck flint with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and with a trace of a bulb on the ventral surface, both the bulb itself and the opposite end of the flake being lost to recent breaks. These are evidenced by the exposure of flint below a pale grey patina suggesting the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Grey-green stone polished axehead fragment. A thin sliver chipped - probably by plough-strike - from a polished stone axe, probably of Langdale Group 6. A small patch of the polished surface remains on one side along with more extensive fracture surfaces; it has a curved edge, though whether this points to an origin from close to the cutting edge remains uncertain. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Brown igneous stone; polished axe fragment. A large chip comprising about half the cutting edge and a short length of one side of a polished stone axe. The upper or lower edge is flattened, giving a facetted edge to a lentoid section. The other edges are broken unevenly with jagged fracture surfaces. The finder kindly suggests the brownish tint to be different from that of the commonly reported Langdale axes, though these can appear in a range of colours; the object would require thin section to clarify its geological origin. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey-buff flint possible polished knife fragment. A small thin triangular chip with a polished patch on its dorsal surface and an almost flat ventral surface. This is a chip from a highly polished object; either a knife or an axe head; the use of flint may commend the former over the latter. The polished surface has itself been disrupted by the loss of a further thin flake from the dorsal side, whether before or after its detachment from the putative knife is uncertain. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC.

Workflow stage: Published
Grey green tuff polished axehead fragment. A small chip or spall from the cutting edge of a greenstone polished axehead, with more of the stone on one side of the edge than the other. A flat and polished facet one side of the fragment marks the limit of the cutting edge, and indicates that the axe head whence it derives had flattened upper and lower edges. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2700 BC.

Probably burnt grey flint with cortex, as kindly suggested by the finder, debitage. A fragment of flint with a curved end and of a lentoid profile not inappropriate to a polished axehead, and with two parallel chips struck from the dorsal surface, and possibly with two broad flakes stuck from the ventral side. The entire object is riven by crystalline fractures suggesting intense heating and possibly sudden cooling. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete end-scraper, probably dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 3000-1500 BC). The scraper has been manufactured on a secondary flake of dark blackish brown colouration, which is now missing most of its originally convex scraping edge due to heating and fire damage, as evinced by small calcined white patches and fritted areas on the dorsal surface of the support. Only a small amount of the original retouch that constituted the scraping edge is still visible, which is present on the dorsal right edge. This retouch is scalar, abrupt and has been directly applied…
