Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Levallois core in fresh condition, of mottled grey flint, now lightly patinated a sandy colour. The flint has some linier thermal (frost) cracks within the flint, these are present on both faces though the flint seems quite stable, a small “potlid” thermal fracture has detached on the underside, at the bottom of this damage is a small, light grey patch of a coarse inclusion in the flint, this is the cause of this sub-discoidal thermal fracture at this point. The core has typical hard hammer centripetal flaking to both faces, one steeper than the other in the conventional …

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A tertiary struck flake of orange brown flint, possibly a late Neolithic flint tranchet / chisel arrowhead, 30.9mm in length. The object has a triangular plan with short, low angle scaled retouch along both long edges and worked from both faces. The broad end / cutting edge of the flake feathers from a tranchet removal but is not further retouched.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint scraper struck from a dark grey-brown flint. A small patch of cortex is retained on the dorsal surface. The distal end is curved with semi abrupt parallel retouch refining a working edge. The proximal end of the dorsal surface has been reduced with long, intrusive parallel retouch.

Object type: AXE TRIMMING FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A curved flint flake, apparently removed from the cutting end of a Neolithic flaked axehead. The flake appears to represent a corner of the cutting end of the axehead and has a triangular cross section with removal scars on both sides and a concave inner surface which is the break from the tool. the low bulb-of-percussion and feathered ends to the flake suggest this was a deliberate, contemporary removal, probably for sharpening or finishing purposes.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint axehead of Neolithic date, 133mm in length, struck from a mottled grey flint and bifacially worked. The axehead is symmetrical on two axes and has a lenticular cross section, flaring smoothly to a rounded cutting edge 58.7mm wide. There is a large area of damage to the front edge which may be post depositional in origin. There are no areas of polishing. A patch of white cortex is retained at the centre of one face.

County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake of suggested middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age date c. 3300-1000 BC.  The secondary flake is elongated and sub-triangular in plan and cross-section; a small section of cortex surviving at the distal edge which has a chip at the terminal with fresh breaks suggesting more recent damage. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a pronounced bulb of percussion and raised rippling suggested hard hammer working. The dorsal surface has five removal scars with crude removals at the proximal end, possibly damage, but some finer …

Almost complete barbed and tanged arrowhead of Green. H, S, (1980) type Sutton b, closest in outline to examples i and j (page 122, fig. 45), of off-white patinated flint with the numerous small inclusions within the flint a mid-grey colour, one face has three small spots of rusty iron, probably from contact with agricultural machinery. One barb is nearly complete; possibly the tiny tip is missing, the other barb is chipped at the tip, this is an ancient break as one of the iron stains is on the surface of the break, the tang is broken obliquely but would have been little longer than t…
