Translucent brown flint, possibly collected from the East Coast, knife. Sub-triangular thin flake with a bulb at the narrower end of its ventral surface; broad flakes are removed from the dorsal side by hard hammer strike. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, removing a powdery-looking patina which is typical of beach-sourced flint, ending on a short positive hinged fracture. The ’butt’ is also battered. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 39.4mm, Width: 31mm, Thickness: 10.3mm, Weight: 9.36gms

Pale grey flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. Arrowhead bearing covering angled scalar retouch across both sides, with two long cutting edges converging at a sharp and intact point, with two small barbs flanking a slightly broader tang at its wider end. The long edges are finely serrated as a result of the finishing, which would make them very effective for use as a hunting arrowhead intended to promote blood loss from a stricken quarry. The fir-tree form and fine finish recalls a series of lozengiform points from East Yorkshire round barrows which, though perhaps typologically project…

Pale buff flint possible knife fragment. Perhaps one half of a thin oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a flat or very slightly concave ventral surface. A long narrow flake is struck from along a putative cutting edge. The form might also suggest an over-sized barbed and tanged arrowhead, though the concave ventral surface would probably interfere with flight if it were so deployed. Milky patina suggests the object to have endured exposure to a calcareous environment; the break or breaks [a smaller break appears at the base/butt end] is more recent. Sugge…

Oval flake with a bulb on its ventral surface, and with cortex trimmed by angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect to follow the curving edge, and also to lightly trim a butt opposite the putative working edge. This was followed by the development of a milky patina suggesting the object has been exposed to a calcareous environment. The patina is locally removed by adventitious recent chips.

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two large pieces of debitage, a primary chunk and a secondary flake of possible Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 4000 BC - 1000 BC. The chunk has a blade removal from the dorsal face which is not patinated, and some removals form the right side which are, suggesting two periods of use. The flake has cortex on the proximal end. There is probable edge damage on the distal end, which also retains some cortex, suggesting it may have been utilised. There are also a few removals at the left side.

The ventral surface is smooth and displays a wide striking platform and prominent, central bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface has a small area of cortex on the unworked left side. The rounded edge is worked with scaled and sub-parallel, semi-abrupt angled retouch to create the scraping edge. The flint is pale grey in colour, darker on the…

A scraper of probable Neolithic date, 4000 - 2350 BC. The scraper is formed from a secondary flake. There is a small amount of cortex remaining at the proximal end, where there is the striking platform. The flake is mottled grey in colour. On the dorsal face there is semi-abrupt, semi-parallel extensive retouch at the distil end. A flake has been removed towards the right mesal, to facilitate holding the scraper between the thumb and the first index finger. The ventral face is smooth with a low bulb of percussion. Length: 26.6mm, Width: 19.5mm and Thickness: 7.1mm. Weight: 5.2gm

Dark grey flint with possibly re-former cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast; scraper. An oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a convex ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving edge, with the area of cortex retained as a butt. A fresh grey tint to the flint may suggest this object has recently been disturbed from a sealed context. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.

Flint possible scraper. A trapezoid flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a lightly convex ventral surface. An angled wedge-shaped end was perhaps formed by hard hammer strike executed from the dorsal aspect, and the grooves formed by the initial working may have afforded a thumb rest were this a working face. Dense creamy patina suggests the object has endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. It has subsequently been water-rolled.
