Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete flint probable arrowhead of Neolithic-Bronze Age dating (AD 3450-1200 BC).
The artefact broadly resembles a Leaf-shaped arrowhead. It is lentoid in plan and bi-convex in section. Both the dorsal and ventral surfaces have covering scaled flaking and all edges, with the exception of the proximal, have fine low angled retouch. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted, forming a notched aspect at its base. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is grey in colour.

Record ID: HESH-D3BBB9
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular struck flake of Neolithic date (4000-2500 BC). The flake has been struck in multiple directions during the tertiary phase of the tool production most probably during the making of a large core tool - the flake shows multiple removals in opposing directions on the dorsal face. It is relatively thin and a mid grey colour. It is possible that it may have been worked along one edge to form a crude scraper
The flake measures 28.1mm in length, 13.7mm width, is 6.6mm thick and weighs 2.89 grams.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A snapped flint waste flake (debitage) from tool production of probable earleir Neolithic date (4000 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly rectangular in plan and sub-triangular cross section. The flake has been snapped from a larger blade like flake and reworked along one edge on the dorsal face to create a crude cutting edge. It is highly likely that this flake was a by-product (or waste flake / debitage) of tool making; if this is the case then it is from the tertiary (3rd) phase of flaking as all the cortex has been removed. This waste flake has then been re-used or utilised to form a …

County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A snapped flint waste flake (debitage) from tool production of probable Neolithic date (3500 - 2100 BC). The flake is broadly in oval plan and sub-triangular cross section. The flake has been snapped from a larger blade like flake and reworked along one edge on both ventral and dorsal faces to create a crude cutting edge. It is highly likely that this flake was a by-product (or waste flake / debitage) of tool making; if this is the case then it is from the secondary phase of flaking as the dorsal face has around 50% of the cortex remaining. This waste flake has then been re-used or ut…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete late Neolithic oblique (British oblique) flint arrowhead. This arrowhead has been created from a mid - dark brown coloured piece of flint. It is broadly triangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The arrowhead has been knapped using a number of different techniques, including direct and indirect percussion, as well as pressure / ripple / invasive flaking. It is unsymmetrical in shape; a barb extends at one corner creating a curved tang. Both the long edges of the arrowhead have been retouched to create sharp serrated blades. One face of the arrowhead has received mor…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular tertiary debitage / waste flake of probable Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). In plan and profile the flake is irregular. There is no evidence of any reworking although the dorsal face has several removals suggesting this is waste from a larger core tool. The ventral face shows a large bulbar scar and a point of percussion where the flake was removed from a larger core. One edge has been heavily abraded - almost ground - through constant striking - therefore it may have been used as a fire making / spark generating / strike-alight type tool. The flint is a mid dark grey colo…

County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possible Early Neolithic (-3500 to -2900) knapped flint borer or piercer: The borer is an asymmetrical sub rectangle in plan with an off centre protrusion from the lower edge. This protrusion is possibly a fragment of the piercer of the borer which is purposefully knapped, although the tip may be missing. The ventral surface has a single negative flake scar, and conchoidal rings, bulbar scars and a bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface has three vertical negative flake scars. The flint is a mottled mid grey colour. It measures 38.22mm long and 18.67mm wide. It weighs 4.7g.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A near complete leaf-shaped arrowhead of probable Neolithic date (2900 - 2150 BC). The arrowhead is formed on a mid brown grey coloured tertiary flint flake; both the dorsal and ventral faces are extensively retouched.
