Record ID: LIN-AE06EB
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core from mid-light brown mottled flint. Patches of cortex survive. Although several flakes appear to be damage, others have are the result of the removal of long blades. The core is probably Neolithic.

Record ID: LIN-1C09ED
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint blade or flake dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. This is a tertiary flake in a mid-brown translucent flint. The flake is elongated and has three main longitudinal flake scars on the dorsal surface. A bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface.

Record ID: LIN-1BF1C9
Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near-complete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The arrowhead has covering, scaled, low angle retouch all over and is missing only the terminal of the shank and of one of the barbs. The flint is mottled grey with a cream-blue patina. Arrowheads of this type were in use during the "Beaker Period" of the Late (final) Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2,300 to 1,700 BC.

Record ID: LIN-1A3E9A
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic or Bronze Age flint scraper. The scraper is sub-oval in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is worked all over and has scalar working at the distal end. The ventral surface shows a bulb of percussion though the striking platform has been worked off. The tool is made from mottled light grey flint typical of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

Record ID: LIN-677B3C
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint knife. The knife is made from a tertiary flake of dark brown-black coloured flint. The knife is slender, plano-convex in section, and tapers from the butt to the terminal. The lower third of the flint is smooth and bears a mid-brown patina. There is little or no retouch along the sides of the brown area, which might suggest that this item was once hafted. There is a flat striking platform at the proximal end. Low-angled, scaled retouch is visible along both sides and tip. The retouch covers the surface of the tip, but not the main body below.

Record ID: LIN-A9A2F7
Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete leaf shaped flint arrowhead of probable earlier Neolithic date (4000 - 2700 BC) formed on a tertiary flake. The flake is pointed oval in plan and has scaled low angle retouch on both faces. The retouch on both sides is only seen around the perimeter. Traces of the bulb of percussion can be seen on the ventral surface. The striking platform has been worked. The flint is mid-orange with a dark streak through the middle.

Record ID: LIN-CFB2EB
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small Neolithic polished axehead, possibly reworked from a larger original one. The axehead is slender and is pointed oval in section across the middile. The cutting edge is crescentric and displays polish on both faces. The main body of the axe is unpolished. The butt end is unusual, being set a 90 degrees to the cutting edge and forming a second blade. Both faces of the blade are polished, and extending a short way along the edge of the axe. It seems possible that the area that is now the butt was originally the cutting edge of an entirely polished axe that has been later reworked…

Record ID: LIN-2412E9
Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a Neolithic polished axe. The fragment is from the blade of the axe. The balde is crescentric and flares and curves at the base to form the narrow side of the axe. The blade edge is still rather sharp. The interior of the axe shows it is probably a Langale greenstone. The exterior has a light grey patina.

Object type: POLISHED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a Neolithic polished axe. The fragment is from the body of the axe at one of its narrow sides. The fragment has a flat ledge measuring 8mm in width, with a small portion of the original side extending to one side. The other facets are smooth but irregular.

Record ID: LIN-E9737F
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint end scraper or knife. Only approximately half of the tool survives. The surviving part is the proximal end, and contains a striking platform. A bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral surface. The dorsal surface has a a large flake-removal scar running down the centre, with several narrower others flanking it on both sides. No retouch is visible; this, presumably, was on the end that is now missing. The flint appears to have snapped almost horizontally across the flint. The flint is mottled brown.
