Record ID: NLM-79F94C
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey flint core. A small irregular chunk with scars from multangular flake removal. A creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest its incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Height: 31.4mm, Width: 34mm, Thickness: 22.2mm, Weight: 24.21gms

Flint core. A small irregular chunk with narrow parallel flakes removed by multangular working. A dense creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest its incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Length/Height: 31.1mm, Width: 23.4mm, Thickness: 16.4mm, Weight: 11.46gms

Flint pebble with cortex, core. A chunk with broad parallel flakes detached by unidirectional working from a flat striking platform. A dense creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment, and iron-spotting may suggest its incorporation in gravel. As the find-spot is not on chalk the patina may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Height: 34.3mm, Width: 35.5mm, Thickness: 26.2mm, Weight: 45.09gms

Flint pebble with cortex, core. A small chunk from a cortified pebble with a large flat striking platform and scars from the removal of broad flakes by unidirectional working. A dense creamy patina across all struck surfaces suggests the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk this may hint that it has been imported. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Width: 43.6mm, Height: 26.4mm, Thickness: 25.5mm, Weight: 35.23gms

Record ID: NLM-78D9C9
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Probably mid-brown flint debitage. A thin flake with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side  and with a flat ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge. Fire-crazed overall. A creamy patina lost at a chip at one end [which reveals the tint of the flint] may suggest that the object has endured exposure to a calcareous environment, and hence that it may have been imported to its find spot, which is not on chalk. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC Length: 31.4mm, Width: 10.8mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 1.78gms

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Patinated flint debitage with some iron-stained spots. Seven thin flakes [of lengths between 33.8mm and 20.3mm], all with long narrow parallel flakes struck from their dorsal surfaces. The dorsal surfaces are either flat or, for the three smallest flakes, slightly concave. The patina may indicate the objects have endured exposure to a calcareous environment. As the find-spot is not on chalk, this might hint at the importation of chalk and flints, as for building, road-making or marling, in which artefacts were accidentally incorporated. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000BC Com…

Pale grey semi-translucent flint possible leaf arrowhead. A small thin oval flake with long narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of a slightly concave ventral surface; small chip near point. If not an arrowhead then debitage.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Buff coloured flint point, possibly early neolithic. The source record suggests an identification as a [leaf] arrowhead but the mass is greater than might be expected for a projectile tip; it also implies a broken butt. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2500 BC Length: 35.7mm, Width: 26.5mm, Thickness: 6.1mm, Weight: 6.43gms

Pale grey flint scraper. A thin oval pebble with a broad flake or flakes struck from its dorsal side and an undulating ventral surface with a bulb at one end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved end. Possibly broken at the butt in antiquity. Dense white patina suggests the object has endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment.

Pale brown toffee-coloured flint with pale cream markings, knife, as kindly identified by the finder. Oval flake with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trims one narrower end and probably the adjoining long side. Suggested date: possibly Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 51.5mm, Width: 33.7mm, Thickness: 10.7mm, Weight: 15.85gms

Grey flint knife, as kindly identified by the finder. A thick oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch follows a curving edge; a chip was probably damage incurred in antiquity as orange staining from contact with gravels passes over the broken surface. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 42.5mm, Width: 38.4mm, Thickness: 14.4mm, Weight: 18.06gms

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey flint with cortex possible knife fragment. A large flake with an apparently curved cutting edge, neatly truncated on one end where a flat and possibly smoothed surface of lentoid form appears. A large flake has been removed from behind the putative cutting edge by hard hammer strike from the dorsal aspect, possibly affording a thumb rest. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect appears to follow the curving edge, its progress marked by the removal of a pale patinated surface to reveal the pale grey flint below – though a similar colour change also appears …

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Dark brown flint nodule with cortex, scraper. A round flint pebble or nodule of high quality, with invasive angled scalar retouch which has removed eight large long and mostly parallel flakes in an episode of skilled and perfunctory working from a single direction. The cutting edge produced has seen some use as evidenced by its light battering. The rapid removal of larger flakes might usually suggest a late date; however, the selection of this material, which is imported to the area, might rather point to an earlier date and to its economical rather than haphazard working. The notable …

Pale grey and mottled flint, adze, as kindly suggested by the finder. A straight-sided rod with curved cutting edge and a narrower butt, formed from a nodule by covering hard hammer angled scalar retouch which has produced numerous deep and overlapping dished scars. One side may be ground or battered. The object is of irregular oval section. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 114.6mm, Width: 43.3mm, Thickness: 36.5mm, Weight: 174.98gms
