Pale grey flint with cortex, cobble. A fragment of a nodule trimmed to rectangular form by hard hammer strike. This would be apt to use in building or road-mending, which were possibly agencies contributing to the importation of the wealth of patinated flint reported from the vicinity. The struck surfaces are misted but not as highly patinated as much of that material. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 43-1900 Length: 78.5mm, Width: 62mm, Thickness: 46.5mm, Weight: c.370gms

Dark brown flint nodule with cortex, scraper. A round flint pebble or nodule of high quality, with invasive angled scalar retouch which has removed eight large long and mostly parallel flakes in an episode of skilled and perfunctory working from a single direction. The cutting edge produced has seen some use as evidenced by its light battering. The rapid removal of larger flakes might usually suggest a late date; however, the selection of this material, which is imported to the area, might rather point to an earlier date and to its economical rather than haphazard working. The notable …

Dark grey flint with cortex pebble, possible plough pebble. Over half of a water-rounded flint cobble with a single flat face which is rounded at its edges, smoothed, and bears unidirectional scoring. The finder kindly suggests a role as a sharpener. Dr Kevin Leahy regards these objects as plough pebbles, which would be mounted on the leading edge of the wooden mould board to reduce its erosion during use, the markings on the protruding ‘working’ face of the pebble arising from long use until its displacement.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint debitage fragment. A small chip, broken at either end, with narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side, and with a flat ventral surface. Presented along with a possible transverse arrowhead [a late Neolithic object type] in similar material. However, the pattern of flake removal here might rather point to a later Mesolithic date. One long side bears fine serrations, which are more readily felt than observed. The lack of patina may hint at its subsequent inclusion in a sealed context.

Pale grey flint debitage. Seven small chips, all probably waste from flint knapping using hard hammer with narrow or parallel flakes struck from their dorsal sides and with flat, concave or undulating ventral surfaces, some with bulbs. A pale milky patina on all but one chips may suggest they were subsequently exposed for a limited period to a calcareous environment; not, however, to the more marked degree typical of most other flint reported from the vicinity.

Flint possible debitage. Four small irregular flakes, all with flakes struck from their dorsal sides; three retains elements of a bulbar ventral surface while the fourth and longest has a tiny bulb at one end of a concave ventral surface. A dense creamy patina suggests all have endured prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment after their deposition. The finder kindly notes the absence of naturally occurring flint in the vicinity, which has encouraged the consideration of these pieces.

Flint with reformed cortex possible scraper. A long irregular flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of a gently undulating ventral surface. Cortex has reformed over a rounded end, where possible scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect also appears. The opposite end is lightly battered. A dense creamy patina overall suggests the object has endured long exposure to a calcareous environment; orange spots might suggest its incorporation in gravel. The re-formed cortex might suggest an earlier date than the apparently casual working would c…

Fire-cracked flint. A small fragment of patinated flint with the characteristically jagged and hackled surface and deep cracking associated ith intense heat - though it is noted that such effects were wont to occur in recent times, when the burning of stubble was a common agricultural practice. However, this object is accompanied by prehistoric flints, whose date range is advanced for it here, with a later extension offered in precautionary vein.

Burnt flint. Two small fragments of flint bearing a thick creamy patina suggesting its prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment, and both crazed overall by heating.

Grey flint with cortex in two out of three cases; possible debitage. Three small thick flakes, all with indications of flakes having been struck from their dorsal surfaces.

Dark brown-grey flint with cortex or recortification; backed blade. Thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a straight edge, probably to form a cutting edge, and continues along the end of the object. The other end is also trimmed. Cortex may be retained along the opposite edge to afford a grip or permit pressure to be brought to bear. However, its appearance is unusual, and it may have begun to reform over a battered long edge opposite that described. Suggested date: Unknown…

Dark grey flint with cortex, scraper. Nodule fragment with limited patches of milky patina at the sites of primary working, perhaps of Neolithic date, which was followed by a long period of weathering. This surface was nearly removed by subsequent multangular hard hammer working, with limited angled scalar retouch along one aris. There is also some battering along this working edge. The casual execution of reworking may suggest a Bronze Age date for that episode, while a lack of subsequent patination may suggest the object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its final…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White heavily patinated flint with cortex, probably from Glacial Drift, possibly a fragment of debitage reworked as a muller or grinder. A small sub-rectangular and handy block with crystalline fracturing along all its arises. The flint has been very roughly trimmed by two or three strokes of abrupt hard hammer working in antiquity; such rough work is typical of the Bronze Age. It was then probably abandoned, as subsequent grinding appears to post-date the formation of a dense white patina on all exposed surfaces. This later use seems to have been to grind material with the considerab…
