Object type: AXE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Small flint axe/chisel, with bifacial shallow flake scars and a tranchet cutting edge on one face. Black flint is visible where there is recent damage on the edges and at the butt, but otherwise it is patinated medium grey. Probably Mesolithic, as suggested by the tranchet edge, although the shallow cross-section could possibly suggest a Neolithic date.

Relatively crudely finished biface. Transverse flakes from the blade edge, and its asymmetric cross-section (one face flatter, one face more highly convex) support a Mesolithic date, and identification as a small tranchet axe. Black flint with large area of cortex on one long edge, and smaller areas of cortex on butt and on other long edge at butt end.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Bifacially worked flint axehead with blade end missing. Gravel flint, mainly black but mottled with a little grey and white, particularly on one face. It is difficult to tell whether this is the nature of the flint, or whether it is due to partial patination. Small gravelly inclusion at butt. Some flakes have been removed from the break, which may be the result of re-use or of more recent damage. The asymmetric cross-section, with one face gently convex and the other more markedly peaked, together with surviving transverse flake removal near the blade end, suggest a tranchet axe o…

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Flint adze, relatively crude, with roughly plano-convex cross-section. Made from poor quality flint (in places cherty) with a blotchy pale and medium brown colour. Cortex survives on the convex face and unknapped flint survives in the centre of the flatter side. The blade edges (either end could function as a blade) are radially flaked and relatively straight. The form of the adze is similar to some Mesolithic tranchet adzes (although it lacks a tranchet edge); though the crudeness may suggest that it is a later (Neolithic) roughout for an axe or adze.

Record ID: SF6753
Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic tranchet axehead. The main blade flakes are removed transversely and it would originally have been hafted in a wooden handle. The axehead is complete but relatively small, and made of a pale grey/brown flint. It is bifacially worked with a pointed butt and a broad, rounded cutting edge formed by the removal of single transverse flakes. Tranchet axes are in many ways better than the later (Neolithic) flaked and polished axes in that the resharpening is simple and rapid, making it a far more utilitarian tool.
