Record ID: SUR-736F30
Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead struck from a pale brown flint. The arrowhead is broadly "kite" shaped (cf. Butler (2005), p 123, Type 2) and bifacially worked, with both faces having patches of long, low-angle intrusive and covering pressure-flaked retouch to refine the distal point and reduce the bulbar scar at the proximal end. The cross section is lenticular.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint arrowhead of later Neolithic oblique type struck from a tertiary flake of brown flint, 34.4mm in length. The cross section is asymmetrical and triangular with a flat and a convex face. One long edge has retouch along what appears to be the line of a break to refine a blunted edge running to the sharp point. The base has long low angle sub parallel retouch and is slightly hollowed.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A tertiary struck flake of orange brown flint, possibly a late Neolithic flint tranchet / chisel arrowhead, 40.1mm in length. The object has a triangular plan with the bulb of percussion on one long side; this has been intentionally reduced with scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The broad end / cutting edge of the flake feathers from a tranchet removal but is not further retouched.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A grey flint end scraper of possible Neolithic date. The scraper is circular in plan and  ovate in section and has been re-worked with a soft-hammer touch around one long edge.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Secondary soft hammer struck blade, of sub-trapezoidal cross section, struck from a single platform core, of unpatinated mid-grey flint, grading to black towards the distal end, this itself if broken transversely and carries a small patch of thin cortex to the dorsal face. Both lateral edges are finely and slightly irregularly damaged, it is difficult to say if this is recent or ancient. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Bradford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the Bronze Age, 2400 BC - 1000 BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of grey flint with brown inclusions. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan with the tip missing, and is lentoid in cross section. It is broadly symmetrical in shape, with two notches chipped into the base of the flint to separate the barbs and the tang; both barbs are still intact. The tang and barbs all have square ends. Both faces are covered with scaled, low-angle retouch. Length: 35.21mm Width: 33.87mm Thickness: 5.69m…

A heavy butted Neolithic fully ground and polished flint axe, of white patinated flint with a slightly grey inclusions to one face, all surfaces have both spotty iron stains and streaks from contact with agricultural machinery. The axe has been damaged at some point to the cutting edge, it appears that a large flake has initiated at the cutting edge (presumably in use) and has left a “plunging” flake to one face, the flake has terminated in a large step fracture, this is a common feature to axes that have broken in use, like NMS-7AE7C9, NMS-E21D6A and NMS-4EA515, the last t…

Neolithic part-polished, thin butted axe, of lightly patinated light grey flint with a band of darker flint to the butt, the pale buff coloured parts are the slightly coarser inclusions within the flint, one face is streaked with rusty iron scrapes from agricultural machinery, all flake scars appear to be soft hammer struck and nearly all the flakes terminate without hinges to the dorsal face, the ventral face is slightly coarser and exhibits many fine step/hinge terminations to the flakes, this is not unusual with bifaces.

A complete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating to the early Bronze Age or Beaker Period (c. 2400-1500 BC).  This arrowhead has been knapped from a light grey-white piece of flint and there is no cortex remaining. It is broadly sub-triangular in plan with sharp point and is lentoid in cross section. It is broadly symmetrical in shape, with two notches chipped into the base of the flint to separate the barbs and the tang, both barbs are still intact.

A flint waste flake (debitage) probably of late Mesolithic to Neolithic date and reworked at a later Neolithic to Bronze age date. The flint appears to have been hard hammer struck from a secondary flake, with a pronouced bulb of percussion and single striking platform with surviving cortex. On the dorsal face is a deep smooth concave thumb shaped depression with a single arise. There are crude removals, possibly damage at the end of the arise near the distal edge. The flake has been retouched on multiple areas with regular long scaled abrupt retouch comprising four rem…

Mid grey opaque flint scraper. A small thick crescentic flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge. A misty patina over all surfaces may suggest the object was subsequently exposed to a calcareous environment.
