	Knife	WMID-E0C647	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint tool formed from a flake. There is retouch along both lateral edges and a notch has been taken out of the cortical distal end.

	Knife	WMID-E0A234	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint knife formed from a flake. The flake has been retouched along its proximal edge in order to blunt the edge and make it more comfortable to hold.

	Hammerstone	WMID-E07814	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A prehistoric flint object, possibly a hammerstone for working other flint artefacts. There is an area of cortex on the top of the object, and many negative flake removal scars and evidence for percussion blows all over the rest of the flint. As many of the flake removals are very small, it i...

	Knife	WMID-DFCD21	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint tool quite possibly a knife. The tool is formed from a large flake.

	Knife	WMID-DF97D1	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A possible knife or some other tool formed from what may be obsidian, a naturally occuring volcanic glass. The identification of the material as obsidian is tentative as obsidian does not occur widely in Britain, and the material may instead by a form of chert, perhaps even flint. However, it...
	Knife	WMID-DF2B44	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A flint tool of prehistoric date, probably Neolithic, and probably a knife. The tool appears to have been formed from an irregular waste piece. There is evidence for slight retouch along one sharp edge, and this was probably used as a slicing blade. The flint has a pale grey patina.

	Axehead	WMID-CB9DF2	Neolithic	West Midlands	xml \| csv json
A stone axe dating from the Neolithic period. The axe has been ground from a fine grained igneous greenstone, probably from a volcanic ash deposit.
