County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Two large pieces of debitage, a primary chunk and a secondary flake of possible Neolithic to Bronze Age date, 4000 BC - 1000 BC. The chunk has a blade removal from the dorsal face which is not patinated, and some removals form the right side which are, suggesting two periods of use. The flake has cortex on the proximal end. There is probable edge damage on the distal end, which also retains some cortex, suggesting it may have been utilised. There are also a few removals at the left side.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake, probably of Neolithic date, about 4000 - 2350 BC. It is of light grey, translucent flint. It is a secondary flake with cortex surviing on the left edge. In plan it is sub-rectangular; in section it is a pointed oval. There are areas of retouch along the right edge but these are not visible along the entire edge as it has sustained some damage since deposition in the soil. The retouch is short, semi-abrupt and sub-parallel. The flake is 27.9mm long, 19.8mm wide and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 2.68gm.

A flint projectile point dating from the Neolithic period, about 3500 - 2100 BC. It is triangular in plan, the distal end being a deliberate break across the flake. It is also triangular in section with a central dorsal ridge. Both sides and the proximal point are retouched with irregular abrupt removals. It is unlikely that this is an arrowhead but as the break is deliberate it was probably hafted at the broken end and was used as some form of projectile. It is 26.8mm long, 21.8mm wide and 5.6mm thick. It weighs 3.33gm. The flint is mottled tan and grey.

A flint tool, a borer probably dating from the Neolithic period. The tool is basically rectangular in plan with a triangular pointed projection in the centre of one long side (the distal end). There is cortex remaining on the right side of the proximal end. This makes it tool formed on a secondary flake. The borer is 55.45mm long x 34.63mm wide x 20.80mm thick. The width is reduced to 16.44mm half way down the length due to retouching to form the pointed projection, and there is more steep retouching at its point. This point would have been used to bore holes like a modern awl. It wei…

An Early Neolithic multi-purpose flint tool. The flint is 75.4mm long, 46.3mm wide and 13.9mm thick. The oval flint is worked on all edges. The sides are worked from both faces and so could have been used for cutting. The ends are abruptly retouched making scraped surfaces.

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint blade dating from the Late Neolithic period, 2500-2100BC. It is triangular in section with a central rib down the dorsal face. There is (micro) retouch along both edges of the blade, creating a slightly denticulated edge suitable for use as a cutting knife, and around the rounded distal end (this part of the blade may have had a dual purpose as a small scraper). On the ventral (lower) face there is a pronounced bulb of percussion but no retouching. The tool is well made and finished; it measures 44.65mm in length, 18.79mm in width, 5.22mm in thickness and weighs 5.3g.
