Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic trachet axehead made from a flint nodule, original cortex present on one end, the other surfaces are covered by light recortication, covering an opaque, grey, flint. The general section is D shaped with slightly convex underside. The implement is curved along its length and the flaking is coarse, the exception being the area around the transverse cutting edge where some long parallel flakes have been removed. The cutting edge was formed by the removal of single flakes on both faces; the eponymous 'tranchet' flakes. A Mesolithic date seems likely. Length 194mm, Width 51mm, T…

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic adze made from a flint nodule, cortex present on one one face, the other surfaces are bear light recortication covering an opaque, grey flint. . The general section is D shaped with one flat face which bears a heavier recortication and may, in part, be natural. Coarse flaking, struck from this face, covers the sides of the object and, at one end, is a rounded point, The other end of the object retains its original cortex. The central section of the adze is narrowed, presenting a slight waist. No parallels have been found for this object although it could be compared to the …

Object type: PICK
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic pick made from a flint nodule, cortex present on one one side, the other surfaces are covered by white recortication. The general section is keeled with one flat face which may, in part, be natural. Coarse flaking covers all faces of the object and, at one end, is a chisel-like point, perpendicular to the axis of the keel. Along the back of the keel is a band of battering. While this object resembles FAKL-B29348 no independant parallels have been found for this object although a Mesolithic date seems likely. Length 130mm, Width 47mm, Thickness 59mm, Mass 389.1g

Object type: PICK
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic pick made from a flint nodule, cortex present on a small area of one side, the other surfaces are covered by white recortication. The general section is keeled with one flat face which curves along the length of the implement. Coarse flaking covers all faces of the object and, at one end, is a pick-like point. This has a triangular section and was pointed by means of heavy battering on its three edges. No parallels have been found for this object but a Mesolithic date seems likely.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic pick made from a flint nodule, original cortex present on one face, the other surfaces are covered covered by white recortication. Where this has been damage the original, opaque, mid-grey flint can be seen. One end has been flaked to form a three sided point with some retouch (invasive, scaled, low angle). While the finder suggested that this object was a handaxe it is better interpreted as a Mesolithic pick. Length 183mm, Width 70, Thickness 67mm, Mass 742.0g

Object type: ADZE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
Mesolithic flint adze of 'Hassocks adze' type (Butler 2005, 103, Fig. 42.4). The adze was made from a flint nodule, its surfaces are now obscured by white recortication. An area of original cortex survives on one side and the flat face bears a cavity containing quartz crystals. Heavy flaking was carried out from the flat face producing a keeled section. Flaking has produced a narrowing around the mid point of the adze which is a feature of these implements. One end is pointed, the other, damaged in antiquity, was bifacially worked to produce an edge. Length 195mm, Width 59, Thickness …
