Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of probable Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2000 BC). The implement is a scraper formed from a tertiary flake. The flake is dark grey in colour, sub-oval in plan and lozenge-shaped in section. There is a large striking platform at the proximal end on the ventral face, though the bulb of percussion has been obscured by retouch. The ripples of percussion can be seen above the retouch. The retouch on the ventral face is long, scaled and low-angled. The dorsal face has several prominent ridges. There is retouch along the right hand side to form the scraper edg…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
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. Length: 26.2 mm Width: 22.8 mm Thickness…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper dating from the late neolithic period to the early bronze age. The shape is largely circular in plan and in section protrudes to a point on the dorsal face. The body of the scraper is largely a light grey colour, with a gradation to dark grey to the left of the ventral face (and right of the dorsal), distal end up. Very little cortex remains and is mostly found on the mesal. The dorsal face shoes long, scaled, semi-abrupt retouching. The ventral side features long ripple marks across its length which emanate from the bulb of percussion.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Tertiary flake, possibly dating to the Neolithic period. In plan the flake is closest to a rhomboid but for a protrusion of the proximal end where the bulb of percussion is visible. In section there is minimal curvature and only little variations in thickness. The flake is of a warm-grey to brown, and conchoidal ripples are visible on both faces. There is evidence of short parallel retouching on the mesal (noticeable on the right edge when facing the dorsal face).

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late neolithic to early bronze age flint thumbnail scraper. The shape is largely oval, and in section it protrudes toward the distal end. A small area of cortex is present on the dorsal face and the body is largely grey/warm brown, with an area of white on the ventral face. On the dorsal surface, there is short retouching visible on the outer rind, which in some areas appears parallel, and in other semi-parallel. The angle of retouch is semi-abrupt. The bulb of percussion is visible on the ventral face but appears quite subtle.
