Eight knapped core fragments, probably dating to the Neolithic period (length ranging from 13mm – 29mm; width ranging from 9mm – 29mm; thickness ranging from 2mm – 12mm; collective weight: 15.72g). Most of the fragments are of a mid grey raw material, with cortex on some of them. One fragment is completely re-corticated and has a ‘pyramid shape’. Eraillure scars are present on two of the pieces where the bulb of percussion is still partly visible.

One knapped core fragment/ irregular waste, probably dating to the Neolithic period (length: 2.8mm; width: 3mm; thickness: 10.8mm; weight: 9.22g). Dark grey raw material with cortex. The bulb of percussion is clearly visible with an eraillure scar below, derived from the process of breaking up a nodule. Ripples or ‘lunettes’ are also visible.

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint thumbnail scraper made from a flake and dating to the late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age. The scraper is sub-oval in shape with a finely retouched curved edge on the dorsal face. About a third of the edge in unworked - this is the butt area where the original flake was struck off the core. The dorsal surface is mostly covered in dark honey coloured cortex apart from on the retouched edges. The angle of retouch is about 45 degrees. The ventral surface has a pronounced bulb of percussion with ripples radiating from this point across the surface. There is no retouch on the ventral s…

A collection of five worked flints (collective weight: 27.21g), as listed below: 1. One core rejuvenation flake with a probable end scraper at the base, probably dating to the Bronze Age between c. 2200 – 800 BC. The flake has multiple dorsal scars and is struck off and ‘rejuvenated’, therefore creating a fresh flaking bed on the core face, and prepares the core platform and face for further removals. There is a small area of retouch at the end. 2. One awl with retouch at either side of main protrusion, probably dating to the Bronze Age between c. 2200 – 800 BC. Clive Bond …

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped or flaked flint leaf shaped arrowhead, of Neolithic dating (c. 3500 BC to c. 2500 BC). The arrowhead is approximately 95% complete, missing a small semi circular flake from one side. The arrowhead is leaf shaped in plan, consisting of a pointed oval shape with a semi circular base. It has been made from a piece of secondary debitage as a small amount of cortex (outer rind) is still present on dorsal (upper) face. Both dorsal and ventral (lower) face exhibit a large amount of controlled flaking, with retouch present along the edges. It measures 36.51 mm in l…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two worked flints, both probably scrapers. One of the scrapers is largely cortical on the ventral face. There appears to be retouch along the right edge, probably allowing the flint to be used as a scraper. This flint measures 31.3 mm long, 26.25 mm wide, 9.4 mm thick and weighs 8 grams. The flint is an orange to brown in colour. The second flint may also be a small scraper. Retouch has been applied to several parts of the flint around the edges. It measures 18.6 mm in length, 11.1 mm wide, 4.8 mm thick and weighs 0.9 grams. It is an orange to dark brown in colour. The f…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint leaf shaped arrowhead, probably dating from the early part of the period, from circa 3500 to circa 2500 BC. The flint has been subject to invasive retouch around the edges, though the butt of the arrowhead has not been so extensively finished as the rest, perhaps as it was already sufficiently shaped to be easily attached to shaft. The flint is a pale brown to cream in colour, with some areas of white. It measures 27.45 mm long, 17.3 mm wide, 3.4 mm thick and weighs 1.3 grams.

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A retouched flint flake of probable Neolithic date. The flake is sub-trapezoidal in shape and appears to be broken, missing its proximal end. It has been retouched using pressure flaking on the left lateral edge, and was possibly used as a cutting blade. The flint is a pale cream in colour. It measures 15.4 mm long, 24.65 mm wide, 2.7 mm thick and weighs 1.3 grams.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric worked flint, probably a late Neolithic to early Bronze Age arrowhead. The flint is broken, making its precise function slightly uncertain. However, it has been finely retouched in the manner seen on many arrowheads of this period and there is a strong possibility it is a broken arrowhead. The flint is brown in colour and has been subject to retouch around all edges. It is sub-trapezoidal in plan, but presumably would have been sub-triangular in shape prior to the break. It seems likely that the tip of the arrowhead is the part that is missing, although rotating …

A prehistoric worked flint, probably a fairly crude early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead. The flint appears to be broken at the proximal end, missing the butt. The flake has been worked to a point at the distal end by retouch applied from the dorsal surface along both lateral edges. It is sub-triangular in plan and sub-triangular in section. The flint is a grey to pale cream in colour. It measures 24.1 mm long, 23.9 mm wide, 5.2 mm thick and weighs 3.2 grams.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Neolithic flint leaf shaped arrowhead. The arrowhead has been finely finished, with invasive retouch applied to the entire surface of the dorsal face. The ventral face has also been retouched, although on this side the retouch is confined to the edges, butt and tip of the arrowhead. There is an interesting cone shaped flaw in the flint on the lower right side of the flint. The arrowhead is lozenge shaped in plan and lentoid in section. It measures 25.9 mm long, 16.9 mm wide, 3.6 mm thick and weighs 1.6 grams. The flint is a pale brown in colour and is slightly transluscent.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint scraper. The scraper is cortical on the dorsal face, though the cortex has been removed by retouch applied from the dorsal surface. The retouch has been applied to the lateral sides and to a lesser extent at the distal end. There is little evidence for retouch at the butt. The cortex is a brown ochre to cream in colour whilst the flint on the ventral face is a deep brown. The scraper is sub-oval in shape and lentoid in section. It measures 30.4 mm long, 25.8 mm wide, 8.9 mm thick and weighs 8.1 grams.

A complete knapped / flaked flint end scraper or knife of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (2900 BC - 1600 BC).i The scraper is broadly oval in plan and lentoid in cross section, formed from a tertiary debitage flake. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a central ridge. The lower / ventral surface exhibits the remnants of a bulb of percussion and conchoidal ripples. There are a couple of irregular and uncontrolled flake scars, suggesting movement and damage in the plough soil. The edges of the scraper demonstrate evidence of retouch with indirect percussion.

An incomplete bifacially worked fragment of a flint Sickle of Neolithic dating (circa 4000 BC - 2351 BC). The fragment is broadly sub-triangular in shape, and broadly lentoid (lozenge) shaped in cross section. The fragment comes from towards the tip of the sickle, however the actual tip and the base are now missing. The flint is white and grey in colour with the tip in a brown colour. The fragment has a bowed curved edge. Both the ventral and dorsal faces of the flake have been reworked.
