Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint transverse arrowhead dating to the late Neolithic. The arrowhead has two pressure flaked worked edges that meet at a right angle, with working on both faces of the arrowhead. The arrowhead is trianglar in shape with the shortest (worked) edge being straight and the other two edges having a slight curve. The arrowhead weighs 2.92g and measures 37mm in length, 25mm in width and 5.5mm in thickness.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint transverse arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic period (3300 BC - 2200 BC). The arrowhead is formed on a flake of mottled grey flint. It is sub-triangular in plan and a thin pointed oval in section. The striking platform occupies one side, the original edge of the flake is the long transverse cutting edge and the final side is retouched with short sub-parallel abrutp removals. A speckled patina has started to form. A notch in the cutting edge interrupts this, suggesting it is later damage. The arrowhead is 22.4mm long, 15.2mm wide and 3mm thick. 0.85g.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Published
A flint transversarrowhead of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (about 4000 BC - 1000 BC). The arrowhead is of a type once thought to have been used to stun prey rather than to kill it. It is formed on patinated mottled flint. It is a long flake which is rounded at the narrow proximal end, and square at the wider distal end. The proximal end has short, sub-parallel semi-abrupt retouch which forms the blunt point of the arrowhead. There is also short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch on both long edges as well as an area of damage which interrupts the patination on the right side. The fli…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint transverse arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic, about 3300 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on a segment of a tertiary blade, light grey in colour with a large white inclusion. One edge of the blade forms the transverse cutting edge which has some edge damage. One side is snapped between two retouched notches. The other has some short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch. The short side at the proximal end has short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch from the ventral face. It is 22.6mm long, 24mm wide and 3.7mm thick. 1.76g.

Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A flint tranchet axehead or pick of Mesolithic date, about 9000 BC - 4000 BC. It is formed on opaque yellow grey flint. It is sub-rectangular in plan with one rounded end and slightly convex sides. It is a thick oval in section. Both sides are covered with large flaked removals, leaving no cortex. A fresh notch in the working end is probably later damage. The proximal end is an oblique, lozenge shaped platform. The pick is 129.2mm long, 34.8mm wide and 28mm thick. 139g. Edge dmage shows that the pick was used, but this sort of tool is also found deposited in graves (Jason Dodds, pers.…

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper. This flint is a short and broad tool, following the late Neolithic transition from altering blades, to using more chunky pieces of flint with abrupt retouch. The retouch is on the sides and distal edges. It has a grey patina with some brown inclusion. It measures 15.5mm x 15.5mm x 6.7mm, weighing 1.93g. This flint is late Neolithic or Bronze Age in date. For an example see Chris Butler's 'Prehistoric flintwork', fig. 70.1,2.
