Record ID: NLM-92761B
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale buff flint with cortex spot, scraper. A small thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Misty white patina across struck surfaces suggest a subsequent period of exposure to a calcareous environment. This patina is trimmed by short angled retouch executed from the dorsal aspect following a [?formerly, now chipped] curving edge. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 30.6mm, Width: 20.6mm, Thickness: 10.9mm, Weight: 9.90gms

Object type: LAUREL LEAF
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey-buff flint possible laurel leaf knife fragment. One curved or ogival end from a flat to lentoid section blade, with covering angled long scalar retouch across the dorsal side with short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect following its edge, and with an undulating ventral surface; perhaps two thirds or more of the putative blade are lost. Patches of misty patina may suggest the object subsequently endured a limited period of exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 30.9mm, Width: 37.8mm, Thickness: 6.5mm, Weight: 1…

Record ID: NLM-9180B2
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with cortex, core fragment. Chunk with broad parallel flakes removed by unidirectional working; the face of a core appears to have spalled away from the rest, including the striking platform. The lack of subsequent patination may hint that the fragment was incorporated into a sealed deposit. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Height: 49.8mm, Width: 37.6mm, Thickness: 17.5mm, Weight: 31.84gms
