Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small, complete Neolithic flaked and polished flint axehead, 99mm in length, dating to c.4000-2350 BC. The axehead is made from a mottled light grey flint and has flaked removals across its surfaces. The cross sectional profile is lenticular and the axehead flares slightly to a rounded cutting edge which has been polished and has some post depositional damage. The proximal end / butt is flat.

County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic to early Bronze Age polished stone perforated object, dating to c. 2800 - 2100 BC. The object is sub-rectangular with slightly convex sides, it is pointed oval in section. Positioned in the centre is a circular perforation which has a slight hourglass form. The butt of the object is slightly rounded towards the butt and shows some wear through use. The opposing edge slopes more sharply into the cutting edge, this is mostly worn through use. The surface on all sides is smooth and only slightly pitted. The stone is dark grey in colour.  Length: 102 mm…

A fragment of flint flake, possibly dating to the Neolithic period c. 4000 - 2500 BC. The flake is made from a tertairy flake of brown flint. The item is broken at the distal end, through the bulb of percussion leaving a sub-rectangular piece.  There may be some abrupt retouch on a small section of the ventral surface edge.  Removals from the dorsal surface could be the result of plough damage.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete ground and polished axehead, of patinated mottled flint, now a light brown colour with rusty iron streaks to both faces from contact with agricultural machinery, the few remaining visible flake scars now patinated a slightly darker shade of the same. The cutting edge is only slightly curved and asymmetrical in shape, this is likely to be intentional or the result of regrinding this edge over time, only one recent chip to the otherwise still sharp cutting edge, this is much darker than the original surfaces. The lateral edges are sharply faceted and are almost straight fro…

Complete part-polished axehead, of light and mid-grey flint with the remaining visible flake scars now patinated a sandy orange colour. All flakes are well knapped with only a few light hinge/step terminations as would be expected with an axe, the sub-semicircular cutting edge is entirely polished and without recent damage, still sharp, the high points to the flake scars to the body of the axe are also extensively polished, though not entirely ground smooth, the lateral edges are neatly rounded, not facetted, even the butt has had the edges ground and rounded off. A good example. …

Object type: DISCOIDAL KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible discoidal knife, of off-white patinated flint, made from a “potlid” or natural thermal fracture with thin, weathered sandy coloured cortex to the dorsal face, the ventral face is a typical thermal fracture. Potlid fractures like this with what appears to be retouch to the thin edges are usually dismissed as being not man-made, however in this instance the more curved edge of the two appears to have had a succession of bifacial flakes driven from it, in one spot the flakes pass through a fossil inclusion, in contrast, the straighter of the two ed…

A flint scraper tool probably of neolithic date, 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is oval, formed on a secondary flake of dark brown flint.

Flint possible scraper. A small chunk with a flat flake struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect may follow a curving edge, though if so, it has been battered. A dense patina overall suggests the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk it may have been imported, perhaps with marl or building materials. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 27.5mm, Width: 33.2mm, Thickness: 12.3mm, Weight: 10.99gms

Black flint debitage fragment. A small irregular chunk with parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side. A dense white patina has accumulated across all surfaces, removed by later damage to expose the underlying tint of the flint. The patina may suggest the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk it may have been imported.

Pale grey and patinated flint possible debitage. Six irregular flakes [of lengths 44.3mm-19.3mm] with scars from the trimming of flakes from their dorsal sides, and the largest – which is also lightly heat-damaged - with angled scalar retouch across the bulb on its ventral surface. Three other flakes including the smallest fragment have bulbar ventral surfaces. Where a creamy patina has developed across the struck surfaces the objects may have been imported from an area where they had endured exposure to a calcareous environment; the find-spot is not on chalk.

Pale grey-buff flint with cortex spot, debitage. Two small struck chips [length 23.4mm and 19.5mm]. The longer sub-triangular flake bears invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect and has a rippled ventral surface. The other was perhaps detached by working similar material and has a concave dorsal surface and a tiny bulb behind a projecting nib. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Combined Weight: 4.59gms

Flint possible scraper. A small thick sub-rectangular chunk with narrow flakes removed from its rounded dorsal surface and with a concave hollow on its ventral surface which would serve as a thumb rest; one side is flat. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one short straight edge, here taken to have been the working edge. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Early Neo…
