Object type: BURNT FLINT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A chunk of unworked but burnt flint of unknown date. It is recorded because flint does not naturally occur in the area. The chunk is of yellow grey flint with some cortex and inclusions. It is crazed and has jagged fractures. There are no removals that are certainly done by human agency. It is 56.6mm long, 32.2mm wide and 31.6mm thick. 58.4g.

An incomplete struck / knapped blade, formed from a tertiary debitage flake, of probable Neolithic dating (c. 4,000 BC to c. 2, 350 BC). The probable blade has a sub triangular cross section, and is sub triangular in shape. Retouch is present along the long edges and the short side (short, subparallel, abrupt). The probable blade has been made from a piece of tertiary debitage, probably the remains of a core for making blade. The flake has been made from a dark grey flint, with little surface patination.

An incomplete flint probable arrowhead of Neolithic-Bronze Age dating (AD 3450-1200 BC). The artefact broadly resembles a Leaf-shaped arrowhead. It is lentoid in plan and bi-convex in section. Both the dorsal and ventral surfaces have covering scaled flaking and all edges, with the exception of the proximal, have fine low angled retouch. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted, forming a notched aspect at its base. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is grey in colour.

A possible flint flake, blade or arrow of unknown date. The flint is triangular in shape, widening towards one edge making it arrow shaped. There are ripple marks running up the ventral face suggesting that there may have been a striking platform where the flint is now broken. There is short, abrupt retouch along the two edges of the blade. There is a small patch of cortex on the lower part of the flint. Next to this there is a rectangular slot running through the body of the flint. This is likely where a fossil was preserved inside the flint. The flint is a light grey colour with patc…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint lithic implement of probable Neolithic date, 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is a secondary flake of mottled grey flint with a double dorsal ridge and some cortex on the distal right side. It is broadly rectangular in plan, and curved in profile. The distal end is retouched with short, semi-abrupt, scaled removals forming a scraper. The left side is also retouched, with short, scaled, low-angle removals creating an edge that could have been used as a knife.  Length: 35.1mm Width: 15.7mm Thickness: 6.1mm Weight: 3g

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a worked flint core tool, struck from a blue grey flint, 60.1mm in length. The cross section is trapezoidal with removal along both long edges on one face with a strip of buff coloured cortex retained along the centre. One end tapers slightly to a damaged cutting edge with what may have been a tranchet removal scar angled into a chisel-like tip. The other end terminates in a break across the full width. The underside is flat and unworked. The flint demonstrates white recortication from deposition in calcareous sediments along with patches of post-depositional iron st…

A large worked flint flake, 90.3mm in length, struck from an orange brown flint and of potential Lower/Early Middle Paleolithic (c 500,000-180,000 BC) date. There is a prominent bulb of percussion and striking platform at the proximal end. The dorsal surface has removal scars; the ventral surface is unworked. The flake is heavily rolled and water worn. Any retouch is now unclear due to battering damage around the edges.

Pale buff flint gunflint. A rectangular flake with three broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and  with a slightly bulbar ventral surface. Battering of two opposed sides suggests two episodes of use with a flintlock musket. The object may have been designed to be one inch square. The flintlock was under introduction, particularly for use by specialised troops such as the guards of artillery trains, during the English Civil War. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1850 Length: 29.9mm, Width: 28.4mm, Thickness: 8.7mm, Weight: 9.23gms

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flaked flint adze, knapped from a grey flint, 156mm in length. The sides on the long axis of the tool are roughly parallel, tapering to rounded ends and with a lenticular cross section. The side profile is convex suggesting a function as an adze and the working edge is rounded but has been damaged. The flint has heavily recorticated with a white patina derived from prolonged deposition in calcareous sediments and there is also extensive post depositional iron staining.
