Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A mid to late Bronze Age flint tool. It is formed on a large flake of mottled grey flint. There is crude and irregular retouch along the distal end to form a cutting tool, and removals from the right distal side which could be used as a scraping edge. The workmanship is poor which suggests a late date.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrow head dating from the Early Bronze Age. The flint is light grey/brown in colour, slightly mottled, and barely patinated. The arrowhead is invasively worked on both faces and is a "fancy" type of arrowhead, probably a Green Low type. The barbs have oblique ends, and the tang is shorter than the bards and pointed. It has a length of 30.87mm, width 20.53mm, thickness 3.10mm, weight 1.91g. It probably dates from 2500 BC - 1500 BC. For reference see Butler 2005. Prehistoric Flint work p. 165 figure 69, no:1.

Object type: FLINT IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint implement probably dating to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age. The object is sub-oval in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. The object appears to have been reused. The rounded end has been polished however it is difficult to say if that has come through use of this piece or if it was there before this piece was taken off the parent. On balance there look to be several thin blows from the wide broken end that terminate at the polished end as if the polish higher up has been finely knapped off. If that is the case and it was a polished implement then the original is probabl…

Object type: FLINT IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper of an inner flake dating from the prehistoric period (c.8300 - 701 BC). It is oval in plan with a ridge running horizontally across the dorsal side, just lower than the half-way point. This ridge gives it a triangular cross-section. The flint is white (indicating recortication - physical alteration of the skin because of acid rain) widening at one end (8.3mm) and thinning at the other (3.61mm), which ends with a slight point. The flint demonstrates steep retouch along one side. Dating flint flakes when found out of a stratified layer is difficult unless …

Record ID: DUR-A12166
Object type: FLINT IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a chisel arrowhead Mesolithic in date, which has been snapped on the long side. It is sub-triangular/rectilinear in plan. The snapped edge is thickest (17.46mm) and the arrowhead then narrows towards the other long side (8.04mm). The longest edge is smooth and flat indicating it has been snapped. The very tip of the point is also missing but it appears the bottom line is complete. It is made from a light-grey flint with some white and dark grey inclusions.
