Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small fragment of flint debitage, very difficult to date. The fragment is very worn and probably some kind of waste flake that was chipped off the core and discarded. Since flint was in use until the early modern period in this area, it is very difficult to date it without context. However, flint does natually appear on the west coast of Britain and thus, the fragment probably came off a core that was brought here from the east.

Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small platform gun-flint, probably from a pocket pistol dating between 1600-1800AD. The flint is rectangular in plan, with sub-parallel lateral margins, and trapezoidal in section and triangular in profile. A flint core would have been quartered and knapped with metal punches to produce suitably broad rectangular flakes which would then have been dressed and segmented into square chunks. The flint has bimarginal worked edges, and worked distal and proximal ends. Apart from the edges, the ventral face is smooth and flat. The dorsal face is chamfered on both sides and at both ends, havi…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lithic implement, probably a knife or scraper. It was knapped from light grey speckled flint and is hardly patinated. The dorsal face shows several large facets while the ventral face shows numerous waves/ripples. There are retouch marks forming a very ragged edge all around the edges on both the ventral and dorsal faces, although they are slightly more pronounced on the dorsal face.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete 'D' shaped scraper knapped from grey black flint and dating from the late Neolithic period 2500-2100BC, possibly a Riley Type 5 (Bond, C. Plate 5.112 and 5.113). The scraper is complete, made from a short, round flake with retouch along the total distal and halfway up the two mesial edges. Both the ventral and dorsal faces are very smooth with even ripple marks. Scrapers could have many uses from scraping the fat off animal skins, to scraping the bark off arrow shafts. The length is 42mm, width 34mm, thickness 6mm and the weight is 14.21g.

Black Pennines chert scraper possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is a dull black in colour with traces of the original white banding at the distal end. The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are sources of black chert in the South Pennines. The chert is worked on 4 faces and 2 edges with 4 blade scars visible. The length is 3.5mm in length and 1mm in width.

The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are sources of black chert in the South Pennines. The chert is worked on 3 faces and the proximal point has been worked into a long narrow tapering point now broken suggesting a kind of boring tool. The length is 2.3mm in length and 1.2mm in width.
