Record ID: WMID-C579F7
Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Published
A knapped flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. Mass: 1.2g. Length: 22mm; extant width: 18mm. Thickness: 4mm. The off-white/grey flint arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan, with two notches in the basal area either side of a central tang, forming a barb to one side, but the second barb is missing. The arrowhead has invasive retouch on the dorsal face. The flatter ventral face only has retouch on the tip and the barb and notches in the basal area. In "Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics", Bond (2004, p.205)…

Record ID: WMID-C5A316
Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Published
Knapped flint barbed and tange arrowhead. Probably Late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. Mass: 1.5g. Length: 26mm; extant width: 17mm. Thickness: 4mm. Grey patinated flint. Made on a re-used flake, as the surface is not patinated around the edges where it has been retouched. The tanged arrowhead appears to have lost some material from its tip, and also at the ends of the wings - and so the original form is unclear.

Record ID: WMID-56B827
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint scraper of probable late Neolithic or early Bronze Age date, dating from circa 3000 BC to circa 1500 BC. The scraper has been made on a long flake and has been retouched from the dorsal side using pressure flaking. This retouch occurs on both edges and at the distal end. A ridge runs down the centre of the dorsal face, making the flint sub-triangular in section. It measures 43.95 mm long, 22.24 mm wide, 9.07 mm thick and weighs 10.3 grams. The flint is a dark to pale grey in colour.

Record ID: WMID-54FCD7
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint waste flake of prehistoric date, probably Neolithic or Bronze Age, and dating from circa 4500 BC - 1000 BC. The flake is cortical in small areas at the butt and the tip of the distal end, and it has no obvious shape for a tool. However, what appears to be deliberately fine retouch at the distal end may have enabled the flake to be used as a knife and this is a distinct possibility. It measures 50.06 mm long, 20.62 mm wide, 5.15 mm thick and weighs 6 grams. The flint is pale to dark grey in colour with small areas of cream cortex.

Record ID: WMID-5621F1
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint broken blade of probable Mesolithic or Neolithic date. The flint is brown in colour with an area of cortex on the left side, just before the break. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are clearly visible on the ventral face at the proximal end of the flint. There is fine retouch, predominantly applied from the ventral face on the right edge of the flint. The fairly even patina of the flint suggests that the break is ancient rather than recent. The flint may have been used as a cutting blade. It probably ranges in date from 8300 to circa 3000 BC.

Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A post-medieval to modern gunflint from a flint lock rifle dating to the 16th - 19th centuries. The gunflint is sub-square in plan and appears complete. The flint has been knapped around the edges in order to get the correct shape. The distal edge is thinner (2.6 mm) thickening to 10.21 mm before tapering off again. All of the edges are relatively straight. The flint used is a dark grey in colour.

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint tool formed from a flake. There is retouch along both lateral edges and a notch has been taken out of the cortical distal end. This may have been a composite tool, with the left lateral edge appropriate for use as a cutting blade, and the blunter retouch on the right lateral edge, confined to the area around the distal end, used as a scraper. The retouch at the distal end may have functioned as a scoop, scraper or gauge. The flint is dark grey in colour and partly cortical. Other worked flint tools and a Neolithic ground axe have been recovered …

Record ID: WMID-E07814
Object type: HAMMERSTONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint object, possibly a hammerstone for working other flint artefacts. There is an area of cortex on the top of the object, and many negative flake removal scars and evidence for percussion blows all over the rest of the flint. As many of the flake removals are very small, it is possible that this piece was used to knap and/or apply pressure to other flint tools during retouch of them. Other worked tools and a Neolithic ground axe have been recovered from the same area.

Record ID: WMID-DFFDC7
Object type: CHOPPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An irregular flint flake of possible Neolithic date, possibly a chopper. The tool appears to have had some retouch to make it more comfortable to hold, and there is slight retouch (or damage?) on what may be the chopping edge. Other worked flints and a Neolithic ground axe have been recovered from the same area. The flint is a pale to dark grey in colour with some cortex remaining.

Record ID: WMID-E0A234
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint knife formed from a flake. The flake has been retouched along its proximal edge in order to blunt the edge and make it more comfortable to hold. The opposite, distal end has also been retouched, though here this was presumably to sharpen or serrate the edge for use as a cutting or sawing blade. The flint used is a cream to pale grey colour.

Record ID: WMID-E03865
Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two worked out flint cores of prehistoric date. The cores are the remains of the raw pieces of flint from which flakes and blades were struck. Both cores retain some cortex. One core is a blue/grey colour, the other a pale cream to grey. The former measures 29.52 mm long, 20.65 mm wide and 20.5 mm thick, weighing 18 grams. The latter measures 34.88 mm long, 28.57 mm wide, 25.51 mm thick and weighs 30.1 grams.

Record ID: WMID-DF97D1
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible knife or some other tool formed from what may be obsidian, a naturally occuring volcanic glass. The identification of the material as obsidian is tentative as obsidian does not occur widely in Britain, and the material may instead by a form of chert, perhaps even flint. However, its dark, almost black, colour and glassy appearance are unusual. The piece has clearly been utilised as there are percussion marks in many places and the sharpest edge appears to have been finely retouched, perhaps allowing the tool to have been used as a cutting blade. Other worked flints a…

Record ID: WMID-DFCD21
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric, probably Neolithic, flint tool quite possibly a knife. The tool is formed from a large flake. Percussion blows in the area around the bulb of percussion have clearly removed parts of the flake to make it more comfortable to hold, and an area of cortex appears to have been deliberately retained for this purpose. The piece has one sharp edge which has been subject to fine retouch from both dorsal and ventral sides. The flint is dark grey to pale grey in colour with small patches of cream cortex remaining.

County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tool of prehistoric date, probably Neolithic, and probably a knife. The tool appears to have been formed from an irregular waste piece. There is evidence for slight retouch along one sharp edge, and this was probably used as a slicing blade. The flint has a pale grey patina.
