County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint retouched flake of uncertain date, either mesolithic or neolithic, dating from 8300 - 2100 BC. It is a secondary flake with cortex at the proximal end. It is wedge shaped being triangular in section and oval in plan. The curved distal end has been retouched with fine abrupt removals, some slightly invasive. This was possibly utilised as a scraping edge but is not a formal tool. It is 28.7mm long, 16.5mm wide and 9.8mm thick. It weighs 3.89gm. The flint is tan coloured.

A natural nodule of flint with small possible blade removals of uncertain date. The nodule is sub-U-shaped with an ovate section and has a mid-grey/brown cortex covering most of the surface. One tip of the nodule displays three parallel negative scars from flake/blade removals. The resulting edge is fairly sharp. It is not possible to determine when the removals occurred. They may be ancient or more recent. The nodule is 92.3mm long, 50mm wide, 37.2mm thick and weighs 200g.

A flint flake of unknown date. It is roughly triangular in plan. This is a tertiary flake. The proximal end of the flake appears to have been broken but it is partly obscured by adhering soil. The ventral surface does not show the bulb of percussion or the bulbal scar but ripples resulting from the concoidal fractures are visible. The dorsal surface shows negative scars from flake removal, not all of which have been removed in parallel to this flake. The proximal end of this surface features a rough area that could be described as hackly. One of the mesal edge appears to show three…

A tertiary flint flake of unknown date. Roughly triangular in plan it tapers to a sharp point. The proximal end appears to be broken so the bulbal scar and bulb of percussion are not present. There is no evidence for ripples on the surface. The dorsal face shows some damage at the proximal end. It features a central spine running from the mesal part of the face to the distal end. The flint is patinated giving it an opaque white appearance. It measures 28.18mm long x 6.36mm wide x 2.97mm thick. It weighs 0.43g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint round scraper made from a tertiary flake. Round scrapers are ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are therefore very difficult to date to any particular period. The proximal end of the original flake is flat and smooth. The ventral face of the flake features a bulbal scar and a low blub of percussion. The dorsal face is rough and irregular, the result of other flakes having been removed. The right edge, the distal edge and much of the left edge have been retouched to form the scraper. The retouch can be described as short, semi abrupt and scaled. The original flake has t…

A round scraper made from a tertiary flake. Round scrapers are ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are therefore very difficult to date to any particular period. Owing to the roundness of this object and the extent of retouch, many of the features which are commonly mentioned when describing a flint are difficult to determine. The presumed ventral face retains a central spine of the original surface. Around the edges of this face a series of sizeable flakes have been removed. These can be described as semi-abrupt invasive sub-parallel removals. As a result there is no evidence …

A possible flint knife, made from a tertiary flake which is roughly D shaped. The flake has been bifacially worked with covering, low angle scaled retouch on both sides. However, there is no abrupt retouch backing which is typical of D shaped knives dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic. Therefore this date of this object is uncertain. The flint is grey with patches of white and black. This object measures. 54.55mm long x 49.43mm wide x 14.52mm thick. It weighs 38.66g.

Flint debitage dating from the Mesolithic to Bronze Age c. 10,000 - 801 BC. The flint is irregular in shape - it is broadly sub-rectangular with two projections, at opposite corners, where flakes have been struck from this piece. The dorsal face is corticated in the middle with smooth, angled edges. There is no evidence of reworking. There is nothing characteristic to allow a more precise dating of this flint piece. The flint is a mottled light grey in colour. It is 55.94mm in length, 45.23mm in width and 15.64mm in thickness. The object is 37.86g in weight.

A possible flint scraper, or possibly a natural flake with significant edge damage, or possibly a natural flake utilised as a scraper. There is no obvious striking platform, and the unpatinated face appears to be a potlid fracture. It is formed from an oval piece of dark grey flint, with cortex covering one face, and large inclusions on the other. The edge has removals which could be sporadic short, semi-abrupt retouch, or which could be edge damage from tumbling among other stones. If it is deliberately worked, it could be of Mesolithic to Iron Age date, 8000 BC - 500 BC. The ob…

A post-medieval to modern gunflint from a flint lock rifle dating to the 17th - 19th centuries. The gunflint is sub-square in plan and appears complete. The flint has been knapped around the edges in order to get the correct shape. The distal edge is thinner and the flint is triangular in section. All of the edges are relatively straight. The flint used is a dark grey in colour. Clive Bond, PAS Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics : PAS, pp163-164 notes that these gunflints date from the 17th to 19th century.

A small Neolithic thumb scraper. The scraper has a shallow plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is roughly circular in overall shape. It has been formed from a light brownish-grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, but the ripples of percussion are still evident. There are many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate.
