Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9000-2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars, the proximal and distal ends are abruptly blunted. The left- and right-hand edges have rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave due to single predominantly negative scar. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length: 38.12mm, Width: 14.82mm, Thickness: 10.62mm, Weight: 5.9g The flint is dark grey in colour with cream inclusions t…

County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Core Rejuvenation flake of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is slightly convex and has three predominant negative scars. The flake retains cortex along the right-hand edge. All edges are abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is slightly concave. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. The flint is grey in colour with dark grey inclusions, the cortex is light brown in colour.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete chert Arrowhead of late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age date (2500-1500 BC). The arrowhead is formed on mottled dark grey chert. It is sub triangular in plan and bi-convex in section. the upper pointed end terminates in a transverse break. The proximal end has a pair of semi-circular notches forming a waisted section above the blunt proximal edge. Both dorsal end ventral surface have covering scaled flaking. Illustrations of similar arrowheads may be found in Butler's (2005) Prehistoric Flintwork, page 159, plate 66; also Edmonds' (1995) Stone T…

A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic date (9,000-3,450 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has covering scaled flaking. The proximal and distal ends have been blunted. All edges with the exception of the proximal have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave with shallow ripples of percussion emanating from small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. There is a single shallow negative scar on the bulb of percussion. The lithic retain no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length: …
