	Blade	DENO-4DA237	Palaeolithic	Derbyshire	xml | csv json
Flint blade, probable Final Late Upper Palaeolithic straight backed blade (c.13,000BC-8,300BC); possibly Neolithic blade (4,500BC-2,100BC). Incomplete - both ends broken - the thin end recently, and the thick end in antiquity. Sub-rectangular in plan, tapering slightly in both planes towards the ...
	Backed blade	DENO-4D9D06	Palaeolithic	Derbyshire	xml | csv json

Sub-rectangular, narrrowing towards the squared distal end; rounded proximal end (now damaged); trianglar section, slightly curved profile. Ventral - slight bulb scar, soft hammer bulb, now damaged. Dorsal - th...
	Backed blade	DENO-4D95E1	Palaeolithic	Derbyshire	xml | csv json
Lithic implement; flint; possible Final Late Upper Palaeolithic curved backed blade but with additional abrupt retouch along part of the concave edge; possibly later fabricator or awl/burin. Crescent-shaped, triangular in section. No bulb on the ventral surface, difficult to identify point of per...
	Scraper (tool)	DENO-4D9510	Palaeolithic	Derbyshire	xml | csv json

Sub-triangular in plan with two short edges concave and the long edge convex; expands from the proximal end, diagonal concave distal end; triangular section; 10% cortex. Ventral - soft...
	Handaxe	DENO-343B04	Palaeolithic	Leicestershire	xml | csv json
Palaeolithic ovate flint axe, Type K (Wymer 1968 typology). Probably Middle Palaeolithic (c.300,000 - 40,000BC), although this is not certain. Bifacially worked, with cortex on both sides, suggesting it has been knapped on a flint plaque (hence no bulb of percussion as it was not made on a flake)...
	Axe	DENO-DE1DA4	Palaeolithic	Derbyshire	xml | csv json
Lower Palaeolithic bifacially worked, ovate flint handaxe. Heavily rolled, so that the number of flake scars is unclear, and stained orange. There is an area of damage on one of the faces, which would have been produced some time after the axe was made, but long enough ago for the area to have be...
