A retouched tertiary flake of dark grey brown flint, probably of later Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The flake is trapezoidal with a projecting point on one corner of the distal edge. This edge has short abrupt retouch along its length with what appears to be a small burin removal at the tip of the point to refine it for use as a piercing or engraving tool.

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete looped transitional palstave axehead dating to the Middle-Late Bronze Age dating from about 1250 - 950BC. The palstave is a transitional type with a deeply undercut stop. All that remains is the centre of the axehead, with the terminals of the blade and butt missing. It is encrusted with corrosion.  It has a thin butt with flanges that expand from the extant areas of the butt to the stop in a triangular shape. The tallest part of the flange is at the stop. The stop ridge is curved and forms a small socket (is deeply undercut but filled with corrosion)…

Record ID: OXON-108CF2
Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a probable Late Bronze Age spearhead only the tip survives. It is triangular in plan being truncated by a transverse break. It is a lozenge shape in cross section and has a medium brown patina. It is 44.7mm long, 20.3mm wide, 11.2mm thick and weighs 8.30 grams. Too little of the spearhead survives to assign a type to this fragment. The light weight may imply this is also a modern rail fitting.
