Record ID: SWYOR-328703
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A Neolithic polished flint axe. The axe is 152.2mm long, 62.6mm wide and 28mm thick. It weighs 338g. The axe is a tapering sub-rectangular shape and is ovoid in section with a flat facet at each end of the oval. The curved cutting edge is in good condition but there is some damage to the narrow end and a little of the end is missing. The damage at the haft end appears to be post depositional, but is not very recent, as the break is patinated. The axe patination in general is variable, the variations in colour being difference in patination rather than differences in the stone. The axe…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period of 2500 - 1500 BC. The arrowhead is 27mm long and 25mm wide. It has pointed tangs and a fairly square end to the tang. It may be a Sutton type. It is invasively retouched and has been carefully worked. The flint is a light orangey grey colour and appears to be completely patinated. Barbed and tanged arrowheads are frequently found in graves containing Beaker vessels. This example is complete, but it is more normal to find damage to one or both of the barbs ('Prehistoric Flintwork' by Butler, …

Object type: SIDE SCRAPER
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint side scraper which probably dates from the Neolithic period, but which could be Mesolithic. The scraper is shaped like a backwards D and has semi-abrupt to abrupt retouch along the curved, convex, left hand side. There is some cortex on the dorsal face, but a removal from the right hand side interrupts the face. The ventral face has some patination. The scraper is 28.7mm long, 20.6mm wide and 7.4mm thick.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint flake with some abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch. The flake is 67.8mm long, 26.5mm wide and 8.7mm thick. There is abrupt retouch on the left side and some semi-abrupt retouch on the right. The distal end appears to have been worked slightly more invasively, possibly for use as a piercer. The flint is dark brown and opaque. This tool is difficult to date because it is not particularly diagnostic, but may be from the Mesolithic period.

County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint leaf shaped arrowhead which probably dates from the Early Neolithic period. The arrowhead is 31.7mm long, 19.3mm wide and 4.7mm thick. It is a kite-shaped form, meaning it is the same shape at both ends. It is invasively retouched on both faces to shape it precisely. This would have required great skill. Although this type of arrowhead is sometimes found in Late Neolithic and Bronze Age contexts, there is no evidence to suggest that they were used after the middle Neolithic (Butler 2005). The flint is completely patinated and is white and brown in colour.

A worked microlithic flint tool which probably dates from the Mesolithic period. The tool is sub-lozenge or kite shaped. It is wider at the distal end. It is 35.3mm long, 15.8mm wide and 6.5mm thick. There is semi-abrupt parallel retouch and wear along both edges of the proximal end, extending nearly to the distal end on the left side. There is a fresh break at the distal left hand side, but some cortex surviving on the left before the break shows that the retouch did not extend along the whole side. The function of the tool is not completely clear, but the proximal end may have been u…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An invasively worked tertiary flint flake. The flake is semi-circular but the straight edge is a break which occurred after the working but is not recent. The flake is 21.2mm long, 15.8mm wide and 2.7mm thick. It is bi-facially worked with scalar flaking but there is very little, if any, edge retouch. It may be a pre-form for a tool which was never completed. There is very little dating evidence at this flake could date from anytime between the late Mesolithic and the Bronze Age. However, it is slightly more likely to be from the Early Bronze Age. There is slight patination on all fac…

A Neolithic flint combination tool, comprising of a scraper and a piercer. The tool is roughly "q" shaped. It is 39.3mm long, 18mm wide and 6.4mm thick. It has a bulb scar and the left hand edge is semi-abruptly retouched. The right hand edge is thick and unworked. It was probably snapped off here during working. At the distal end and piercer is formed at the right hand side. The dorsal face was worked from both the distal end and the right hand side to form a projecting point. The flint is slightly patinated and is mid grey with areas of white inclusions.

A waste flake of flint. The flake is 60.6mm long, 18.3mm wide and 7.2mm thick. The flake is a tertiary flake which is curved. There is some edge damage on the flake but it does not appear to have been further worked. It is counted as debitage – the waste flakes produced during the production of a tool. The flake has a slight patina and is opaque. It is grey with white inclusions. It probably dates from the Neolithic period. Small chips of white quartz were also found in the area.

A flint Early Neolithic Leaf arrowhead. The arrowhead is 26.5mm long, 18mm wide and 3.2m thick. It is a leaf shaped ogival arrowhead. It is bifacially worked and invasively retouched with scalar retouch. This would have taken much time and skill. The arrowhead would have been functional but may have been made for ceremony or show (Butler, 2005, Prehistoric Flintwork). The flint is mid brown in colour and is lightly patinated. Small chips of white quartz were also found in the area.

On the ventral side, the bulb scars are faint. The platform is an irregular l…

A flint tool, a knife, probably dating from the late Neolithic. The knife is 48.3mm long, 15.1mm wide and 4.6mm thick. It is formed on a tertiary flake which is rounded at both ends.

A large flint scraper. This bulky flint has very abrupt retouch down its proximal edge to form a crude scraper. There is still some cortex remaining at the centre of the dorsal side and is probably a secondary flint. It has a dark grey, brown patina and measures 39.8mm x 30.8mm x 14.8mm, weighing 19.04g. This scraper is dated to the Neolithic due to its abrupt retouch and large size; something typical of the Neolithic.
