Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete early Neolithic laurel-leaf shaped flint arrowhead dating from about 3500 BC-2900 BC. The object has been knapped from a light grey opaque flint, mottled with a brown patina. The arrowhead has scalar retouch on both ventral and dorsal faces as well as around the edges. The flint also has a striking platform at the proximal end; the tip at the distal end has been broken off, which indicates that it was utilised. Examples of this type of arrowhead may be found in Edmonds' Stone Tools and Society, page 47. Length: 24.5mm; Width: 16.8mm; Thickness: 4.3mm; Weight: 1.91g

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper. This flint is a short and broad tool, following the late Neolithic transition from altering blades, to using more chunky pieces of flint with abrupt retouch. The retouch is on the sides and distal edges. There are also flaking scars on the dorsal face. It has a white patina with some brown inclusions and feels grainy, maybe being chert rather than flint. It measures 20.23mm x 21.26mm x 7.89mm thick, weighing 3.73g. This flint is late Neolithic or Bronze Age in date. For an example see Chris Butler’s ‘Prehistoric flintwork’, fig. 70.1,2.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint serrated blade dating from the Early Neolithic period. The blade is 42mm long, 18.7mm wide and 7.1mm thick. The blade has a left edge which is straight and a curved right edge which is serrated at the distal end. The notches seem to have been made by removing flakes from the dorsal face at the proximal end, and from the ventral face at the distal end. There is some edge damage to the left side. Some cortex remains at the proximal end of the right side. The flint is mid grey in colour and is of good quality with no visible inclusions. Serrated blades are frequently found on ear…
