Dark grey flint with cortex spot, scraper. A small irregular flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side to provide a thumb rest, and with a bulb adjacent to a lateral concavity on its ventral surface which may have accommodated the user’s index finger. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving end opposite the bulb. Subsequently abraded, though a lack of subsequent patination may hint that the object was subsequently incorporated into a sealed deposit.

Record ID: NLM-8FA8D5
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint with thick [1.5mm] cortex, scraper. Thumbnail scraper, with a single flake detached from the dorsal side to provide a thumb rest, and with a bulb at the butt end of the ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curved edge. Patches of misty patina suggest a subsequent period of exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 34.6mm, Width: 26.6mm, Thickness: 10.5mm, Weight: 9.44gms

Record ID: NLM-8F9FCC
Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey-buff flint possible transverse arrowhead; the finder kindly suggests this to be a petit tranchet arrowhead, though there is no sign of a cutting edge formed by a single blow as this definition would require. A small thin flake with covering angled scalar retouch across both sides. The orientation of the object if it were to serve as an arrowhead is uncertain. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2500-2350 BC Length: 16.5mm, Width: 18.1mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 0.86gms.

Record ID: NLM-8F95E8
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Opaque pale grey-buff flint knife. Thick sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a markedly bulbar ventral surface; cortex has re-formed over the associated striking platform. Invasive long angled parallel retouch executed from the dorsal aspect defines a cutting edge along one straight side and a more limited zone at the site of an opposite lobe. Invasive angled scalar retouch also trims the bulbar ventral surface, and very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect forms a more ephemeral cutting edge along an adjacent long side. Suggest…
