Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near-complete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The arrowhead has covering, scaled, low angle retouch all over and is missing only the terminal of the shank and of one of the barbs. The flint is mottled grey with a cream-blue patina. Arrowheads of this type were in use during the "Beaker Period" of the Late (final) Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2,300 to 1,700 BC.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic or Bronze Age flint scraper. The scraper is sub-oval in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is worked all over and has scalar working at the distal end. The ventral surface shows a bulb of percussion though the striking platform has been worked off. The tool is made from mottled light grey flint typical of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint knife. The knife is made from a tertiary flake of dark brown-black coloured flint. The knife is slender, plano-convex in section, and tapers from the butt to the terminal. The lower third of the flint is smooth and bears a mid-brown patina. There is little or no retouch along the sides of the brown area, which might suggest that this item was once hafted. There is a flat striking platform at the proximal end. Low-angled, scaled retouch is visible along both sides and tip. The retouch covers the surface of the tip, but not the main body below.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete leaf shaped flint arrowhead of probable earlier Neolithic date (4000 - 2700 BC) formed on a tertiary flake. The flake is pointed oval in plan and has scaled low angle retouch on both faces. The retouch on both sides is only seen around the perimeter. Traces of the bulb of percussion can be seen on the ventral surface. The striking platform has been worked. The flint is mid-orange with a dark streak through the middle.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Neolithic polished axehead, possibly reworked from a larger original one. The axehead is slender and is pointed oval in section across the middile. The cutting edge is crescentric and displays polish on both faces. The main body of the axe is unpolished. The butt end is unusual, being set a 90 degrees to the cutting edge and forming a second blade. Both faces of the blade are polished, and extending a short way along the edge of the axe. It seems possible that the area that is now the butt was originally the cutting edge of an entirely polished axe that has been later reworked…

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a Neolithic polished axe. The fragment is from the blade of the axe. The balde is crescentric and flares and curves at the base to form the narrow side of the axe. The blade edge is still rather sharp. The interior of the axe shows it is probably a Langale greenstone. The exterior has a light grey patina.

Fragment of a Neolithic polished axe. The fragment is from the body of the axe at one of its narrow sides. The fragment has a flat ledge measuring 8mm in width, with a small portion of the original side extending to one side. The other facets are smooth but irregular.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint end scraper or knife. Only approximately half of the tool survives. The surviving part is the proximal end, and contains a striking platform. A bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has a a large flake-removal scar running down the centre, with several narrower others flanking it on both sides. No retouch is visible; this, presumably, was on the end that is now missing. The flint appears to have snapped almost horizontally across the flint. The flint is mottled brown.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint Arrowhead of late Neolithic to Bronze Age date (2500-1200 BC). The object is a barbed and tanged form and is sub-triangular in plan and shallowly pointed oval in section. One of the tangs is missing. Both dorsal and ventral surfaces have covering stepped flaking. The left and right hand edges have fine, low angled retouch. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint a light orange/brown in colour. Length: 42mm, Width: 26mm.

A Neolithic or Bronze Age flint knife made from a tertiary flake. The flake has a flat striking platform at the proximal end, and a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface which ripples outwards towards the distal end. The flake is irregular on the dorsal surface, and is roughly triangular in section. Fine low-angled scalar retouch is visible along the cutting edge.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint barbed-and-tanged arrowhead of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date, circa 2400 BC - 1000 BC. The arrowhead is roughly triangular in plan. One of the barbs is incomplete, but the complete example measures 27mm in length and 2mm in thickness. It is lozenge-shaped in section until it meets the main body. The tang is also roughly lozenge-shaped in section, but is snapped shortly after it leaves the body. The break across the other barb is patinated the same as the rest of the arrowhead, which suggests that it was broken in antiquity. The arrowhead is made of a l…

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic polished stone axehead (c.4000-2351BC). The axe is probably a Group VI axe from Langdale, Cumbria. The axe is sub-rectangular in plan and measures 94.95mm in length. It tapers from 46.71mm at the blade end to 23.02mm at the butt, and is 21.3mm in thickness. The axe weighs 130.78g. The blade and butt ends are rounded both in plan and in section, the blade end having lost its sharpness in antiquity. A small chip - presumably having occured in more recent times - is visible at one edge of the blade. This exposes mid-dark green interior. The axe is oval in section with side…
