Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An almost complete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead from the Beaker period or the Early Bronze Age. The arrowhead is triangular in plan with two semi-circular notches cut into the base to separate the barbs from the central tang. The barbs are of uneven length. The tang is irregularly shaped and it appears as though one corner might have broken off. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake that has been bifacially worked with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch on both sides. The flint is patinated giving it an opaque white appearance with an area of grey/blue towards th…

An almost complete flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Beaker period or the Early Bronze Age. The arrowhead is triangular in plan with two semi-circular notches cut into the base to separate the barbs from the central tang. The very tip of the arrowhead has been broken off. The arrowhead is made from a tertiary flake that has been bifacially worked with scaled, low angle retouch on both sides. One face had a convex profile and is covered by the retouch. The other face is flatter and has long retouch running down the left hand side (when looking with tip at top) of t…

A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, circa 7000 - 3500 BC. The implement is a fabricator which is sub-ovate in plan and lozenge in section. The implement has been extensively worked on all sides having numerous flakes of varying sizes removed from each surface. More extensive stepped, abrupt retouch is evident along both mesial edges The flint is a light bluish-grey colour. The implement is 76.6mm long, 17.7mm wide, 15.1mm thick and weighs 24.6g. Fabricators may have been used in leatherworking though other suggestions include strike-a-lights.

A complete knapped lithic implement of late Bronze Age date, circa 1000 - 800BC. The implement is a crude scraper formed from a hard hammered secondary flake which is sub-triangular with a D-shaped section. The ventral surface is relatively smooth with visible ripples of percussion radiating from the bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface is irregular with an irregular patch of cortex to the proximal portion. Abrupt, short and scaled retouch is present along the distal edge forming the scraping surface. The flint is a mid-grey colour with patches of a lighter chalky inclusion. The …

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2350BC. The implement is a scraper formed from a tertiary flake which is sub-leaf-shaped in plan and D-shaped section. The ventral surface is smooth with the bulb of percussion and striking remaining. The dorsal surface is irregular having had numerous flakes removed and has extensive abrupt, short, parallel retouch around the left edge of the distal portion. The flint is a dark grey colour. The implement is 38.9mm long, 29.7mm wide, 8.5mm thick and weighs 8.9g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehisto…

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: 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.
