Record ID: NLM-B32990
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey flint with cortex, scraper. A naturally formed ‘pot lid’ fractured circular flake with a dense white patina indicating prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. Cortex has been removed by a further central and natural pot lid fracture, and intermittent angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the larger part of the curving edge. Odd chips appearing as if executed from the ventral aspect are probably the result of subsequent adventitious edge-on impacts. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Diameter: 51mm, Thickness: 11mm, Weight:…

Honey-coloured opaque flint knife. A small straight-sided flake of plano-convex section with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of an otherwise flat ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge to form the cutting edge. Initially identified as a plano-convex knife; however, Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen kindly comments: 'This lacks the covering, scaled flaking on the dorsal face needed for it to be categorised as a plano convex knife - see here for example Record ID: DOR-F1B3F4 - NEOLI…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. A large broad V-shaped barbed and tanged arrowhead of thin lentoid section bearing covering angled scalar retouch across both sides. The barbs are complete but the tang is lost to an ancient break, and the tip to a more recent break. The unusually broad form would maximise blood loss, weakening a quarry and enabling it to be trailed by hounds. Suggested date: Early Bronze aAe, 2350-1600 BC.

Flint probable debitage. An oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a nearly flat ventral surface. Dense creamy patina suggest the object has endured a long period of exposure to a calcareous environment. The finder kindly suggests an identification as a leaf-shaped arrowhead, though the form is somewhat irregular and, if an arrowhead, the putative tip is lost.

Pale grey flint possible debitage. A small thin oval flake with a positive hinge fracture on its dorsal side and a bulb at one end of its ventral surface.

Honey-coloured flint possible discoidal knife fragment. A broad flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by angled covering scalar retouch executed with hard hammer, and with a low bulb towards one end of an otherwise flat ventral surface. A curving side appears to represent the cutting edge; the opposite long edge was perhaps indented twice, introducing a crescentic appearance, though this side may have been chipped more recently to achieve this form.

Dark grey flint scraper. A small thumbnail scraper with broad scar from the removal of a flake from its dorsal side, and with a bulbar ventral surface. Misty patina had developed over struck surfaces, suggesting a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, but this was removed by invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect at one end. Deep parallel scars at right angles to the initial stage of working described above may represent an intervening episode of working executed from the dorsal aspect, as these grooves have acquired a very light patina.

Flint with cortex spot, backed blade. A small thin D-shaped flake with narrow and broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface.

Dark brown flint with cortex, scraper. A thick round flake with broad and narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly undulating bulbar ventral surface.

Flint debitage fragment. A small flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Broken in antiquity.

Brown flint with cortex, debitage. An irregular flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the undulating ventral surface.

Dark brown flint with cortex, nine fragments of debitage. All show traces of the trimming of flakes from their dorsal sides by [typically] multangular hard hammer working. Most have a bulb on the ventral surface, or this side is concave or bulbar. All the fragments are of similar flint, resembling the material of crude scraper NLM-34C49E and may represent a single episode of casual knapping.

Grey flint with cortex, scraper. A small thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. Long angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge.

Opaque grey flint scraper. A thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by casually executed multangular hard hammer strike, and with a bulb and adjacent hollow on its ventral side. Light traces of misty patina have formed over struck surfaces, but were removed by limited angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect on a short part of the edge. This may suggest a crudely made scraper has been discarded and subsequently picked up and re-used after minimal reworking.

Opaque grey flint with reformed cortex, scraper.

A rounded hollow appears on one side, with apparently reformed cortex along that edge, a little of which was either trimmed by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect or lost to an adventitious edge-on impact. It is possible that a holed or hollowed nodule was selected to form a shaft-trimming tool. The finder kindly suggests an identification as a hollow sc…

Flint possible fabricator, as kindly suggested by the finder. An elongated oval triangular-section flint with one pointed end and one obliquely broken.

Black flint with cortex, backed blade. A long curving flake with long parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface with a small bulb at one end.

Grey-green flint with darker banding, cortex spot; possible core. A large chunk of much-battered flint, with some large flakes intermittently removed by multangular hard-hammer strike. The putative working is obscured by extensive battering along all arises where the planes of the object meet, and this - and indeed possibly all traces of 'working' - might have arisen from the natural rolling of the object in surf.

Flint possible scraper. A leaf-shaped flint with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by multangular hard hammer strike, and with some trimming of an originally undulating ventral surface.

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.
