Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint triangular arrowhead of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date (3300 - 1000 BC). The flint is a light brown/grey coloured, opaque, tertiary flake. It is sub-triangular in plan and sub-trapezoid in section. There is invasive, scaled, low angle retouch to all three sides of the arrowhead but predominantly to the long sides towards the pointed end. The retouch has been carried out from both the dorsal and ventral faces. It is 43.4mm long x 34mm wide x 6.4mm thick and weighs 8g.

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint knife of probable Neolithic date (4000 - 2200 BC). The flint is a mottled grey coloured, opaque, tertiary flake with a single dorsal ridge. It is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-trapezoid in section. There is short, sub-parallel, low-angle, soft hammer retouch to the extent of the left hand side, carried out from both the dorsal and ventral faces. There is similar retouch to the right hand side which also has two concave notches formed by semi-abrupt retouch from the dorsal face on the distal notch, and from the ventral on the proximal notch. The tool is 46.5mm long x 15.6mm wid…

Record ID: YORYM-FF7E88
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete end and side scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350BC). This is a D shaped scraper knapped from a secondary flake with previous flake removals on the dorsal surface and remaining cortex along the left lateral edge. The bulb of percussion is very diffuse and there is a distinctive lip on the striking platform, both indicative of the soft hammer percussion technique. This may also tentatively suggest an earlier Neolithic date as soft hammer was used less in the later Neolithic. There is continuous retouch along the left edge, distal end, and halfway up the right edge of the d…

Record ID: YORYM-FF755F
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint knife of broad Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age date (10000-1500BC). Knives of this type do not have distinctive period characteristics, with long flakes, unretouched cutting edge, and remaining cortex on the opposite edge present on examples from all periods (see Butler 2005). This example is a concavo-convex knife knapped from a secondary flake with cortex remaining on the right edge and previous long flake removals on the dorsal surface. There is a diffuse bulb of percussion and the small striking platform is still present. The left cutting edge in sharp and unretouc…
