Heavily sea-rolled and worn worked flint tool, covered in chalk patination (see third image). The flint measures 80 mm long, 60 mm wide and 30 mm thick, and unfortunately about 20% of the working end has recently broken off. Due to wear and damage on this hand-worked tool it has been difficult to confidently identify. Bryan Popple of Bournemouth Natural Science Society and Museum believes it could possibly be Homo neanderthalensis <\/em>dating to around 200,000 years bp (before present). The smaller size indicates typical Neanderthal workings in comparison to the larger and older Homo heidelbergensis<\/em> handaxe previously reported as MAS-100062. The attached images shows both handaxes for comparison. The possible Neanderthal tool is the smaller darker tool. Matt Leivers, an in-house flint specialist at Wessex Archaeology was unsure whether the flint was a handaxe and would need to visually inspect the object in order to be certain.<\/p>", "notes":"

This item was found with a large handaxe (MAS-O100062<\/a>).<\/p>", "reuse":null, "reusePeriodID":null, "created":"2017-08-05 22:49:25", "updated":"2018-05-23 14:00:54", "secwfstage":"3", "findofnote":null, "objecttypecert":"1", "datefound1":"2017-07-17", "datefound2":null, "inscription":null, "museumAccession":null, "subsequentAction":"28", "objectCertainty":"Certain", "dateFromCertainty":null, "dateToCertainty":null, "dateFoundFromCertainty":null, "dateFoundToCertainty":null, "subPeriodFrom":null, "subPeriodTo":null, "objdate1period":"2", "objdate2period":"2", "secuid":"99", "material1":"10", "material2":null, "manmethod":null, "decmethod":null, "decstyle":null, "complete":"2", "surface":null, "manufactureID":null, "culture":null, "recorderID":"PAS5989C577001EA7", "identifier1ID":"PAS5ACF2C1A00167D", "identifier2ID":"PAS5ACF2ADF0013D5", "smrRef":null, "createdBy":"2", "updatedBy":"2", "hoardcontainer":null, "institution":"MAS", "reason":null, "fullname":"MAS", "primaryMaterial":"Flint", "primaryBMmaterial":"10837", "secondaryMaterial":null, "secondaryBMmaterial":null, "decoration":null, "style":null, "manufacture":null, "surfaceTreatment":null, "completeness":"Incomplete", "preservation":"Good", "periodFrom":"PALAEOLITHIC", "seneschalPeriodFrom":"PA", "bmPeriodFrom":"x14387", "periodoPeriodFrom":"p0gjgrs6zcf", "periodTo":"PALAEOLITHIC", "seneschalPeriodTo":"PA", "bmPeriodTo":"x14387", "periodoPeriodTo":"p0gjgrs6zcf", "reusePeriod":null, "ascribedCulture":null, "culturePeriodo":null, "cultureBM":null, "discmethod":"Coastal walking", "identifier":"Mr Bryan Popple", "secondaryIdentifier":"Mr Matt Leivers", "recorder":"L R", "fromCirca":null, "toCirca":null, "findSpotID":"99", "countyID":"17765", "parishID":null, "districtID":null, "regionID":null, "fourFigure":"SZ2293", "map25k":"SZ2293", "map10k":"SZ23SW", "knownas":null, "fourFigureLat":"50.73620009", "fourFigureLon":"-1.68961218", "woeid":null, "gridlen":"10", "geonamesID":null, "accuracy":"1", "what3words":"work.decompose.fish", "source":null, "coinID":null, "obverseDescription":null, "obverseInscription":null, "reverseDescription":null, "reverseInscription":null, "cciNumber":null, "denominationID":null, "degreeOfWear":null, "allenType":null, "vaType":null, "mackType":null, "abcType":null, "bmcType":null, "reeceID":null, "dieAxis":null, "moneyer":null, "revtypeID":null, "categoryID":null, "typeID":null, "tribeID":null, "statusID":null, "rulerQualifier":null, "denominationQualifier":null, "mintQualifier":null, "dieAxisCertainty":null, "initialMark":null, "reverseMintMark":null, "statusQualifier":null, "ruler1":null, "ruler2":null, "mintID":null, "rrcID":null, "ricID":null, "tribe":null, "ironAgeRegion":null, "ironAgeArea":null, "denomination":null, "nomismaDenomination":null, "dbpediaDenomination":null, "bmDenomination":null, "primaryRuler":null, "viaf":null, "rulerDbpedia":null, "nomismaRulerID":null, "secondaryRuler":null, "periodName":null, "dateRange":null, "mintName":null, "nomismaMintID":null, "pleiadesID":null, "mintGeonamesID":null, "mintWoeid":null, "mintOsID":null, "mintGettyID":null, "mintWoeID":null, "mintDbPediaID":null, "mintWhat3Words":null, "mintBritMuseumID":null, "wear":null, "nomismaWear":null, "dieAxisName":null, "category":null, "type":null, "moneyerID":null, "nomismaMoneyer":null, "emperorID":null, "romanMintID":null, "reverseType":null, "status":null, "jettonClass":null, "jettonType":null, "jettonGroup":null, "thumbnail":"183", "filename":"_20170718_183454.JPG", "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "region":null, "rallyID":null, "rallyName":null, "rallyDateFrom":null, "rallyDateTo":null, "landuse":null, "landvalue":null, "regionType":null, "countyType":"County", "county":"Hampshire", "districtType":null, "district":null, "parishType":null, "centreLat":null, "centreLon":null, "parish":null, "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "bmThesObject":null, "seneschalObject":"96374" } ] }
