Copper alloy socketed axe-head. Cast copper alloy axe-head with a crescentic cutting edge, a plain body with slightly concave upper and lower sides and a sub-rectangular socket measuring 32.7mm in height and 28.4mm in width [externally]. A single loop of length 23.5mm is set on one side on the mould line at a distance of 9.5mm from the socket. Six triangular-section fragments of pale buff and desiccated wood were presented along with the object together with smaller splinters and dust, with slight evidence of green staining, and are regarded by the finder as relict fragments of a woode…

Dark grey flint possibly collected from the East Coast [as inferred from relict marine ‘patina’ on the dorsal side] scraper. The ventral surface is rippled with a positive hinge fracture at that end. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curve of either end, and may be masked by subsequent battering along one side.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey-brown flint with cortex, debitage. An irregular flake from the outer surface of a nodule with a bulbar ventral surface. Possibly formed by frost action in ‘pot lid’ form, but very roughly trimmed with a hard hammer and bearing at least two drafts of angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. Probably an ephemeral tool knocked out for a single passing use. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 37.6mm, Width: 37.7mm, Thickness: 7.3mm, Weight: 11.65gms

Object type: FABRICATOR
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with off-white patch near its tip, probable fabricator fragment. A thick pointed flake of plano-convex section with large flakes initially trimmed from its dorsal side and a flat ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect is carried over most of the surface; this was perhaps interrupted by removal of a further flake from the butt end of the tool. Though this need not have interfered with its function, it does not bear wear suggesting it to be the result of a deliberate modification. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: …

Pale grey flint scraper. A small thumbnail scraper with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving edge opposite a flat butt, perhaps where the flake broke in antiquity. A dense creamy patina suggests a subsequent period of exposure to a calcareous environment.

Dark grey flint with cortex spot, scraper. A small thick chunk with a bulbar ventral surface which has acquired a dense white patina from exposure to a calcareous environment. Odd patches of the same film appear elsewhere on the dorsal side. The patina, presumably accumulated in the Neolithic period, was interrupted by a hinge fracture and battering along one side, with further multangular hard-hammer strike across the dorsal surface and with battering along one further edge adjacent to that described above.

Honey coloured flint with cortex spot, hollow scraper or shaft straightener. A narrow irregular flake with broad flake struck from its dorsal side leaving a rippled surface adjacent to a wide concave notch. A bulb appears at one end of a concave ventral surface, with a flake spalled from it by a probably recent and adventitious impact. The notch is smoothed by angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 49mm, Width: 22.2mm, Thickness: 9.1mm, Weight: 11.18gms

Grey flint with cortex spot, fabricator. A finger-shaped flake with covering multangular scalar hard hammer retouch across all surfaces, producing a ragged rhomboid or lentoid section. Patches of misty patina may suggest the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment while orange spots may hint at rolling in gravel.
