Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint probable hammerstone of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date, c. 4000 - 1000. The object is formed of a sub-ovate flint nodule retaining small patches of cortex. One side of the stone is slightly concave showing signs of use wear. The flint is a mottled grey colour. It measures 58.1mm in length, 54.8mm in width, 27.7mm in thickness and weighs 88g. A prehistoric date is likely for this object however such stones have also been found in later contexts and with no supporting contextual evidence it is difficult to be certain.
