Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint retouched flake of uncertain date, probably late Bronze Age to early Iron Age 1000 BC - AD 0. It is formed on a tertiary flake of partially patinated tan flint which is perhaps a natural flake since it does not have an obvious bulb of percussion or striking platform. The flake is ovoid, narrower at one end. Treating the narrower end as the distal end, there is an area of short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch at the distal end of the right side. The flake is 34.7mm long, 25mm wide and 7.3mm thick. 7.7g.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Beaker Period to Middle Bronze Age, about 2400 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on patinated light grey flint. It has covering, scaled low-angle retouch forming the triangular blade and obliquely ended tang. The barbs are missing; one break is a patinated snap across the barb.
