Opaque grey flint with cortex, scraper. A sub-rhomboid chunk with an undulating ventral surface from which at least one and probably several large flakes have been struck, and with invasive angled scalar retouch across a limited central part of its dorsal surface. A convex long edge bears the scars from battering; it is possible that the dorsal retouch permitted a firm grip when using this putative working edge. The finder kindly notes that, as the Isle of Axholme is an area away from chalky subsoils, any flint found in the vicinity must have been imported. Suggested date: Early Bronze…

Dark grey flint possibly collected from the East Coast, possible point. A thick dentiform chunk bears a concave scar on its dorsal side, and ripples arising from the same impact on its ventral surface. A powdery ?marine-deposited patina? was removed by this draft, and also by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect which follows a sub-triangular projecting point. The appearance of retouch along a long edge may be misleading, as most of the scars appear to result from edge-on impacts. The fresh condition of the flint is also much as would be found today on East Coast beache…

Black high quality flint with cortex, core, as kindly identified by the finder. A small thick chunk with cortex removed by unidirectional hard hammer working from a flat platform. The lack of patina may suggest this object was immediately deposited into a sealed context whence it has only recently been disturbed. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Height: 34mm, Width: 25mm, Thickness: 13.6mm, Weight: 12.10gms

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint with cortex spot, blade, as kindly identified by the finder. Narrow flake with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a tiny bulb at the narrower end of a markedly concave ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect may follow the rounded end. A light misty patina may arise from a limited period of exposure to a calcareous environment. The underlying tint of the flint is revealed by adventitious recent chips. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Length: 40.9mm, Width: 18.5mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 4.80gms

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale brown translucent flint of high quality, debitage fragment. Invasive angled scalar retouch appears across the dorsal side; the ventral surface is flat. A fresh longitudinal break might suggest this is from either a larger item of debitage or possibly a small leaf arrowhead. The lack of patina might suggest this object to have recently been disturbed from a hitherto sealed context. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 20.8mm, Width: 11mm, Thickness: 3.7mm, Weight: 0.75gms

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Burnt flint scraper. A thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by hard hammer strike and with a bulb at the butt end of an otherwise flat central surface. It is possible that a lightly battered long edge is set opposite a flat long edge, possibly arising from passing use as a backed blade. Heavily crazed by burning thereafter. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 Length: 40.7mm, Width: 38.3mm, Thickness: 14.8mm, Weight: 27.54gms

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark brown flint with cortex spot, high quality and probably imported, core. A tiny chunk with a flat platform and scars from unidirectional working. The finder kindly comments on the pains taken to make maximum use of this good material, which is characteristically found used for early and good flint work in this region. The lack of patina might suggest its subsequent incorporation into a sealed deposit whence it has only recently been disturbed.

Grey-buff flint core, as kindly identified by the finder. Sub-rectangular flake with broad and narrow flakes removed by bipolar working; flake removal scars on the ventral side are distinctively rippled. One long edge is lightly battered with a flat surface on the opposite long edge, so passing use as a backed blade seems possible.

Brown semi-translucent flint with cortex strip, possible debitage. A very fresh looking chip of high quality flint with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a prominent bulb on its ventral surface. If indeed ancient, this object lacks any patina and must have immediately been incorporated into a sealed deposit whence it has recently been disturbed.  Some chipping is also very recent.

Pale grey flint with re-forming cortex, possible debitage. Flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a tiny bulb or positive hinge fracture at the narrow end of its ventral surface, which is slightly concave. Patches of misty patina may suggest a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, the cortex may have re-formed during immersion.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint possible arrowhead. Lozengiform or rhomboid thick flake with broad flakes struck from both dorsal and ventral surfaces; an unusually symmetrical object although thicker than the leaf-shaped arrowheads of the early Neolithic. Either end could have served as point or cutting edge, and fine serrations appear on the curved end and perhaps along the sides as well, so this may have been mounted ‘inverted’ as an oblique arrowhead. A dense white patina may suggest the object has endured long exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: possibly Late Neolithic, 2700-2…

Opaque pale brown flint debitage fragment. A small thick chunk with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a flat ventral surface. Intrusive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect appears at the ends of the object, while concave chips suggest hard hammer retouch executed from the ventral aspect, with subsequent battering of the thin ?cutting edge this produced. Unusually for flint from this area, there is no trace of subsequent patination, which might suggest the object was immediately incorporated into a sealed deposit from which it has only recently been dis…

Pale brown flint serrated implement. A sub-rectangular flake with broad and narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of a slightly concave ventral surface.  Very fine serrations, more readily felt than observed, follow one long straight edge. A dense creamy patina then developed overall, suggesting a prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. This was interrupted by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect to follow part of that long edge opposite the serrated one, forming a robust and now slightly concave cutting edge.

Pale buff flint blade. A small thin flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with an undulating ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect forms a small [length 6.5mm] notch on one side. Misty patina then developed, suggesting the object endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. This patina was then removed by very short abrupt retouch following one long edge to form a cutting edge. The notch may also have been reworked at this time. The Neolithic period could probably accommodate both episodes, though an older flake m…
