An incomplete flint knife of the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age, c. 2500-1500 BC. The flint consists of the end of a plano-convex knife bifacially knapped from a grey-brown flint.The blade has snapped off, with the break clearly visible in the pointed-oval section, and leaving only the 'but...
	Axe	NCL-982DA3	Neolithic	Northumberland	xml | csv json
A groundstone axe of the Neolithic period, c. 3500-2100 BC. The axe has been ground from an igneous rock of very fine and dense form with a pale green/white outer cortex, that may be related to Langdale geology. The axe is subtrapezoidal in shape plan and pointed-oval in section, with a round...
	Blade	NCL-632FC1	Neolithic	Northumberland	xml | csv json
A knapped flint blad of Neolithic date, 3500-2100 BC. The blade is knapped from a large convex flake and is roughly trapezoidal in section and semicircular in plan. There is very little retouch or pressure flaking along the edges, but the tip appears to be incomplete, perhaps due to use.

A knapped flint arrowhead of the Neolithic. The arrowhead is triangular in plan with a subsquare tang. The shoulders are roughly perpindicular to the tang. The tip is broken, but otherwise the arrowhead is undamaged. In profile, the arrowhead is pointed-oval-shaped, and thickest in its cent...
	Flake	NCL-522096	Neolithic	North Yorkshire	xml | csv json
