Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of flint which is probably not worked and natural. The flint is very broadly speaking arrowhead shaped, but this is most likely to be a result of natural processes rather than human intervention. The flint does not show clear evidence for deliberate retouch on any of its edges, and the uneven patina on parts of the flint suggests that damage to the some areas occurred more recently than others. Although the flint resembles an arrowhead, it does not fit into any recognised typology for Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads and in any case seems to large. A number of archaeologists …

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint scraper of probable late Neolithic or early Bronze Age date, dating from circa 3000 BC to circa 1500 BC. The scraper has been made on a long flake and has been retouched from the dorsal side using pressure flaking. This retouch occurs on both edges and at the distal end. A ridge runs down the centre of the dorsal face, making the flint sub-triangular in section. It measures 43.95 mm long, 22.24 mm wide, 9.07 mm thick and weighs 10.3 grams. The flint is a dark to pale grey in colour.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint broken blade of probable Mesolithic or Neolithic date. The flint is brown in colour with an area of cortex on the left side, just before the break. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are clearly visible on the ventral face at the proximal end of the flint. There is fine retouch, predominantly applied from the ventral face on the right edge of the flint. The fairly even patina of the flint suggests that the break is ancient rather than recent. The flint may have been used as a cutting blade. It probably ranges in date from 8300 to circa 3000 BC.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint waste flake of prehistoric date, probably Neolithic or Bronze Age, and dating from circa 4500 BC - 1000 BC. The flake is cortical in small areas at the butt and the tip of the distal end, and it has no obvious shape for a tool. However, what appears to be deliberately fine retouch at the distal end may have enabled the flake to be used as a knife and this is a distinct possibility. It measures 50.06 mm long, 20.62 mm wide, 5.15 mm thick and weighs 6 grams. The flint is pale to dark grey in colour with small areas of cream cortex.
