Record ID: HAMP-CA1563
Object type: HANDAXE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Published
A bifacially knapped fragmentary handaxe of a yellow-brown flint. It is very coarsely knapped, with large and angular removals covering both faces. the flint itself is somewhat freckled and mottled with darker brown spots, in addition to some quite significant iron staining on the ventral face, where cracks and scarring are also clearly visible. It is suggested to be of Lower Palaeolithic date.

Record ID: HAMP-C986D0
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic barbed and tanged arrowhead, of a rather irregular shape, and with the ends of both barbs being broken off. It has not been knapped flat due to the natural shape of the flint, and thus appears somewhat lumpy, without the natural elegance of many examples of this kind of artefact. It is of a grey flint, although there are lines of a darker grey, almost black colour in addition to some patinisation markedly on the tang.
