Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint end scraper. The flint is possibly a 'button' or 'thumbail' scraper of later Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The flint is sub-oval in shape and has an area of extensive retouch applied to the proximal end on the dorsal face. An area of brown cortex remains on the dorsal face at the distal end, presumably to facilitate comfortable handling by the user. The flint is a pale-to-dark grey in colour. Find not photographed.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint side scraper of probable Neolithic date. The tool has retouch applied to the left lateral side, providing a scraping edge. A ridge runs down the centre of the dorsal face, making the flint sub-triangular in section. The flint is a mottled pale grey in colour. Find not photographed.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint end scraper, possibly a 'button' or 'thumbnail' scraper of later Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The tool has semi-abrupt retouch at the distal end. Cortex has been carefully retained on both lateral edges on the dorsal face, allowing the scraper to be held comfortably between finger and thumb whilst scraping. The cortex has a cream colour whilst the flint mottled white/grey in colour. Find not photographed.

Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are clearly visible at the proximal end. There appears to be some retouch on left lateral edge and a small area on the right lateral edge. It may possibly have been used as a scraper. Whilst the flint superficially resembles that of an arrowhead the retention of the bulb of percussion and the lack of retouch on the ventral face suggests that is not one. The flint is a pale grey in colour. Find not photographed.

Object type: WORKED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The flint is sub-triangular in shape and resembles an arrowhead in shape. However, the flint has no invasive retouch and it retains the bulb of percussion and striking platform, a very unusual feature in Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads as the bulb of percussion is normally removed to facilitate hafting. The 'arrowhead' shape therefore seems likely to be coincidence rather than design. Very fine possible retouch resembling a saw blade may have been applied to both lateral edges, although it is possible that this has been caused during use …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large knapped flint knife of probable Neolithic date. The flint has had retouch applied to parts of the cutting edge. An area of cortex has been retained on one lateral edge which would facilitate comfortable use of the tool, allowing the index finger to rest on this portion of the tool. The flint is predominantly dark brown in colour. Find not photographed.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint scraper of Neolithic date. The bulb of percussion and striking platform remain at the proximal end of the tool. Holding the flint with the proximal end facing the flint has had retouch applied from the dorsal face on the right lateral edge. However, it seems likely that the striking platform was used to rest the tip of the index finger on with the thumb resting on the centre of the dorsal face, allowing the worked scraper edge to be used to scrape towadrs the user. The flint is a mottled grey in colour. Find not photographed.

Object type: WORKED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of chert, possibly worked. If it has been knapped from a core, it does not appear to have been retouched subsequently. The object does not have any of the clear hallmarks of human intervention - it does not have a clear bulb of percussion or striking platform. What appears at first to be retouch on the lateral edges may actually be natural damage and wear. The chert has a pale brown colour. Find not photographed.

A complete struck / knapped flint thumbnail scraper of Late Mesolithic to Neolithic dating (6500 BC to 2200 BC). The thumbnail scraper is semi circular in shape, with a pointed oval cross section. It has been made from a piece of secondary debitage. There is deliberate thinning to the dorsal (upper) side. The dorsal side is covered with parallel sided retouch (covering, parallel, low angle). The cutting edge is slightly degraded and battered. It measures 16.9 mm in length, 20.7 mm wide and 7.2 mm thick. It weighs 2.4 g. The flint is dark brown colour with minimal surface pati…

Object type: DAGGER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint dagger or knife of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age dating (2, 700 BC to 1,600 BC). The flint dagger or knife is a core tool, it has been formed on a large blade like knife from a prepared core. The flint matrix is mid grey with significant white inclusions and grey/black veining. The flint has been chosen to create this piece because of this. Likewise the inclusions will make the piece more difficult to knap. It was made from a prepared blade with lentoid section. The upper dorsal and lower vental faces have been reflaked to create the broad form. Then s…

An incomplete struck / knapped blade, formed from a secondary debitage flake, of probable Neolithic dating (c. 4,000 BC to c. 2, 350 BC). The probable blade has a sub trapezoidal cross section, and is sub rectangular in shape. Retouch is present along the lower short side (short, subparallel, abrupt). The probable blade has been made from a piece of secondary debitage, probably the remains of a core for making blade. The flake has been made from a dark grey flint, with little surface patination.
