The material used is local Wolds flint, appears to be an unfinished axe with some of the cortex still on the surface . Probably an impurity within the flint caused the artefact to break during manufacture.

Record ID: WMID-52AA34
Object type: WORKED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The flint is sub-triangular in shape and resembles an arrowhead in shape. However, the flint has no invasive retouch and it retains the bulb of percussion and striking platform, a very unusual feature in Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads as the bulb of percussion is normally removed to facilitate hafting. The 'arrowhead' shape therefore seems likely to be coincidence rather than design. Very fine possible retouch resembling a saw blade may have been applied to both lateral edges, although it is possible that this has been caused during use …

Object type: WORKED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A piece of chert, possibly worked. If it has been knapped from a core, it does not appear to have been retouched subsequently. The object does not have any of the clear hallmarks of human intervention - it does not have a clear bulb of percussion or striking platform. What appears at first to be retouch on the lateral edges may actually be natural damage and wear. The chert has a pale brown colour. Find not photographed.

A broken waste piece of near black Portland chert with tertiary cortex. It has been deliberately snapped from a longer tool with shallow retouch on the dorsal face. There is no use wear, which suggests that it was never used. There is no retouch on the ventral face.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Two fragments of flintworking debris dating from the Neolithic period through to the Bronze age. One piece is sub-triangular in plan. The flint is 22.63 mm in width, 16.70 mm in length and 6.46 mm thick. The flint weights 1.8g. One side of the object is jagged and irregular with no evidence of working. The other side is smother with ripples and small bulbar scars suggesting this fragment has been flaked off the core. The other flint fragment is 12.67 mm wide, 13.67 mm long and 8.12 mm thick. This fragment weights 1.7 g. The flat side of this fragment does not show evidence of kn…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey semi-translucent flint of good quality, unidentified object. Flake with covering angled scalar working on its dorsal side and flat and faintly rippled on the ventral. The flake is particularly thin and the extent of working suggests it is from a larger object. Some edges (illustrated to top) bear very short abrupt retouch; those at the other end are probably broken. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 26.6mm, Width: 31.9mm, Thickness: 4.5mm, Weight: 3.60gms.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
Mottled grey semi-translucent flint of high quality transverse arrowhead. Knapped flint transverse arrow head. A notched lozenge-shaped flint with long blade removal scars on what is taken to be the dorsal side hammer and pressure flaking particularly on the rear end of blade; some further scars appear to be struck from the edges and probably represent post-depositional damage. This flint was previously noted by Mike Hemblade of the North Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100 BC. Length: 50.8mm, Width: 21.1mm, Thickness: 5mm, Weight: 3.65gms.

An incomplete, flint transverse arrowhead, pale grey in colour. A thin sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with the bulb at the wide end of the ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect which appears to have followed the edge of the object (along two sides). Extensive wear on the dorsal side. Suggested date: Late Neolithic c.2700-2350 BC. Length: 23 mm; Width: 26 mm; Thickness: 4 mm; Weight: 4.14 g.

County: Cornwall

Flint arrowhead, almost leaf shaped in plan and biconvex in profile. It has bifacial invasive retouching. The distal end has been snapped off and it appears to have been formerly a leaf arrowhead. The arrowhead is brown grey with cream flecks. Mercer (1981) illustrated a similar example on page 127, Fig.55, No.L86 which is dated to the Neolithic period.

Transverse Arrowhead. The ventral face has been retouched at the proximal end at both lateral edges.Two invasive flakes have been struck from the proximal and right margin and meet in the middle of the piece. There is use wear on the left lateral margin which is the 'business end' of the arrowhead. The dorsal face has been abruptly retouched at the proximal end and left margin. The proximal end has been snapped at the right margin. There is use wear on the right lateral edge or 'business end'. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 142, Fig 5.128, No F138 which dates to t…

Triangular in plan, black with translucent brown/green banding. The dorsal face proximal edge appears straight, the left margin has abrupt retouch along the edge, distal edge appears convex in plan, with some serration (possible use wear damage), the right margin has been retouched along the edge. The ventral face has been retouched along the proximal edge. There appears to be a conchoidal ripples near the distal edge with some removal of material from the left and right proximal to medial on the margins.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Published Find published
Transverse arrowhead, a short flake of brown flint, clouded cream, expanding in plan from a nearly pointed proximal end to a wide distal of little thickness.The proximal end has been prepared before striking by hard hammer with truncated flake scars remaining. The proximal ventral surface has had the bulb of percussion removed by similar work after the flake was struck with further semi-abrupt work extending up the diverging margins. An attempt seems to have been made to produce a nearly symmetrical plan and profile with a thinned butt on a straight profiled flake.This looks like a La…
