Ten knapped flint flakes. The flakes are knapped from an opaque mid brown or grey coloured flint. Some flakes have developed a mottled blue/grey and white patina. The flakes are both primary and secondary flakes, with the primary flakes have cortex remaining. Each has patches of cortex remaining. The flakes weigh 12.5g. The flakes are probably is prehistoric, dating to the Mesolithic or early Bronze Age periods (-8300 to -1500) when considering the size of the scars on the dorsal surface.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint possible arrowhead. The arrowhead is a sub drop shape in plan and has a white patina, and has been burnt forming a crazed surface. The ventral face is slightly convex. There is no obvious bulb of percussion. The edges has small negative scars of re-touch. The centre of this surface has not been flaked. The dorsal surface, in profile is more convex than the dorsal surface. At the apex there is a patch of cortex remaining. The edges has re-touch scars. The object weighs 5.3g and measures 29.51mm long, 21.3mm wide and 9.94mm thick. The shape in plan and re-touch sugge…

Three knapped flint flakes. The flakes are trapezoidal and triangular in section. Two have developed a white patina, and the third has a mottled blue/grey patina. Two have recent breaks revealing a dark grey coloured flint. The third is also broken, but the patina covers this break suggesting it was not broken recently. None have cortex remaining. Together they weigh 2.9g. The flakes are likely to be prehistoric dating to the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods ( (c. -3500 to c. -1500).

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two possibly knapped flint flakes or debitage. The debitage both have fire-fractured surfaces, and only one has a large area of cortex remaining. Both have negative flake scars. Together they weigh 15.1g. The flakes are possibly dated to the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods ( (c. -3500 to c. -1500). The fire-fracturing may have occurred recently or in prehistory. If it occurred in prehistory there are different theories way flint was burnt and the resemblance to an arrowhead is accidental. Fire-fractured flint may have been used in cooking, for example to create steam ovens, to be cr…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flake of tertiary debitage, dating from the Middle to Late Neolithic (c. 3000 BC - c. 2200 BC). The flake is sub oval in plan and oval in cross section. The ventral surface displays a couple of deliberately flake scars, and there is probable deliberate retouch around the edge. The flint is of a poor quality with several flaws, which resulted in hinge fracturing. Uncontrolled fractures due to plough roll and movement in the soil has meant that the controlled flake scars are hard to determine. The flake is a light grey to white colour, with orange spots. The opaque surface…

A struck flint blade of Early Mesolithic dating (8300 to 6500 BC). The blade is sub triangular in plan. The dorsal (upper) surface exhibits three main flake scars down the length of the blade. A small area of cortex is still present at the base of the blade. There is some deliberate retouch down the the right hand side, with some secondary pressure flaking down the left side. The ventral (lower) surface displays conchoidal rippling down the length of the blade, radiating down from the striking platform at the top. The blade is a mid to dark colour, with little surface pati…

A possible knapped flint end scraper. The scraper is a mottled light grey colour. In plan it is a sub-rectangle with a rounded proximal terminal which appears to be the scraper element of the tool. In profile the proximal terminal is steep and has a series of small negative scars, i.e. retouch on the dorsal surface. This terminal feels worn and blunt. The dorsal surface has a deep recent scar, probably damage due to the plough. The ventral face (smooth face) has a small bulb of percussion. The scraper is 33.61mm long, 17.94mm wide and 13.93mm thick. It weighs 9.1g. The …

A flake of secondary debitage, probably of Early Neolithic dating (c. 4000 BC - c. 2500 BC). The flake is sub triangular in plan, and roughly D shaped in cross section. The ventral (upper) surface demonstrates several longitudinal flake scars, along with a couple of lateral ones. Less than 50% of the ventral (upper) surface is covered in cortex (outer rind) indicating that is a debitage flake from the secondary phase of working. The dorsal (lower) surface exhibits a couple of transverse controlled flake scars near the top of the flake. Several uncontrolled fractures a…

Knapped flint flake with a notch. The flake is a sub-rectangle in plan. The dorsal surface has vertical slender negative scars. Along a lateral edge re-touch has occurred on the dorsal surface forming a notch. The ventral surface has ripples from striking, and a bulbar scar. The flint is an opaque mid brown colour. The flake measures 37.4mm long and 16.89mm wide. It weighs 2.8g. Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus p. 54) comments that notched pieces are found throughout history, but are not a common tool. This flake probably dates to the Neolithic to earl…
