Almost complete barbed and tanged arrowhead of Green. H, S, (1980) type Sutton b, closest in outline to examples i and j (page 122, fig. 45), of off-white patinated flint with the numerous small inclusions within the flint a mid-grey colour, one face has three small spots of rusty iron, probably from contact with agricultural machinery. One barb is nearly complete; possibly the tiny tip is missing, the other barb is chipped at the tip, this is an ancient break as one of the iron stains is on the surface of the break, the tang is broken obliquely but would have been little longer than t…

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A barbed and tanged arrowhead, formed by knapping. It is made of a pale semi- transluscent flint with some inclusions. It is slightly flatter on one side then the other, and the tip of one of the barbs is missing. Having been found near a beach it has been worn so no sharp edge remains, but the shape is consistent. Arrowheads such as these, see also NMGW-24C12C, are classified as Sutton Type B (Green 1980) are commonly associated with the emergence of the Beaker phenomenon in Britain. Dimensions: It is 21mm long and 16mm wide, it weighs 1.53g

A scraper struck from a primary nodule flake of dark brown flint. The edge has short abrupt and semi abrupt scaled retouch to create a working edge. There is no evidence for a prepared striking platform although one side of the tool has considerable damage from battering, possibly consistent with hard-hammered removal; however the overall form suggests a natural potlid / frost fractured flake which has been casually re-used. Probably of later prehistoric date, but (given the findspot) potentially earlier.
