Record ID: LVPL-078D84
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Early Neolithic flint blade. The blade is trapezoidal in shape and in cross-section. 2 flakes have been knapped from one face, one on each side. One edge of the tool has been worked to give it a serrated edge. The tool has broken and so is incomplete- it would have been longer when it was made.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Flint leaf shaped arrowhead from the Neolithic period. It appears not to have been finished. It is made of a light brown flint and is very thin in places so the light can be seen through it.

Record ID: LVPL-426334
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Edge damaged flint flake from the the prehistoric period. It is roughly triangular in section and in plan. It is made from a grey flint. The dorsal face has a central ridge which is broken where the flint is notched. The ventral face is smooth although slight cnchoidal ripples can be seen. One long side of the flint has been broken and chipped, probably when it has been in the ground. This is likely to be a bi-polar flake which would explain the different fracture lines.

Record ID: LVPL-A2AD92
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Flint scraper or blade from the end of the Mesolithic period. The scraper is hexagonal in plan. The two long sides both look to have some retouching. The dorsal face has had 3 flakes taken off, the centre is flat with sloping sides. The ventral face shows the conchoidal ripples caused by striking the flake from its core. The top end appears broken which would suggest a function as a blade rather than a scraper. At the bottom the end has been retouched, to make it flatter, there is no clear striking platform. The flint is a brown colour all over. This flint was seen by Peter Reavill…

Flint thumbnail scraper from the Bronze Age, dating to c.2000BC. The scraper is broadly circular in plan and semi-circular in section. The rounded face has lots of small flakes taken off.

Cream coloured flint tool- possible scraper. It is drop shaped with a ridge running all the awy down, just off-centre. It is a flake which has been re-touched along one side. It is not possible to date this more precisely than to the prehistoric period.

Cream coloured flint flake,- possible scraper. There is some possible re-touching along one edge although this is just as likely to have occurred once in the ground, i.e. plough damage. It is not really possible to date a single flake more precisely than to the prehistoric period.

Flint flake from the prehistoric periods. Flakes such as this are undiagnostic when found out of context. The flint is a lightish grey colour and some of the cortex remains on the base. It is a irregular traingular shape in plan with all edges uneven.

Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Small flint blade which could date from the Mesolithic through to the Neolithic period. It is incomplete, one end having broken off. In plan it is linear with the unbroken end being slightly rounded and bulbous. On one face there is a central ridge, the other face is smooth. It is made from a light grey flint which has some darker grey patches. Individual flint tools and flakes are difficult to date precisely when found on their own and outside of a context.

Flint tool probably dating to the Bronze age, (2150BC-800BC). It is poorly made but has been retouched slightly on one face. It is probably a river gravel pebble from the local area rather than imported. The main colour is a rich brown, and the narrowed point is grey. There is a small area of cortex remaining. The use is uncertain.

Lithic implement, used for cutting or scraping. It is an irregular semi-circle with a protruding 'tang' at one end. Some retouching can be seen along some of the edges. It is made from a dark grey flint which has some white/cream patches in. Most likely from the Bronze Age period although it is hard to date single flint pieces when they are found out of context. Ron Cowell saw an image of this find and comments 'It could be that this is a natural fractured pebble that is fortuitously shaped, which has been picked up and lightly retouched around the curved edge to provide a s…

Lithic implement, end scraper. It is irregular in plan- sub-rectangular with a bulbous terminal. In section it is trapezoidal. The edges have all been worked. The notch where the bulbous part starts has been retouched. It is made from a grey flint which has some lighter coloured (white/cream) irregular patches in. It is hard to date single flint pieces when they are found out of context. Ron Cowell saw an image of this find and comments 'You can get end scrapers at any time before about 1500 BC, although they are perhaps more frequent earlier (Mesolithic/early Neolithic) ra…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Small thumbnail scraper dating to the early Bronze Age, (2150-1500BC). The object is a pointed oval in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. The dorsal side has been worked and contains many facet and ridges. The outer edges have been retouched on each side of the implement. One half of the ventral side is flat and smooth while the other has been worked also. Bi-facial working is unusual for thumbnail scrapers so it was possibly being converted into another object such as an arrowhead also. The object is a clear, light brown in colour with a grey tip.

A post-medieval/modern gun-flint from a flintlock musket. The flint is rectangular in plan and cross-section with sloping edges to give it a trapezoidal side view. The flint is mid-grey in colour. The flintlock was introduced in the middle of the 16th century but it was not until the reign of William III that the flintlock became the main regulation firearm for the British Army. The knapped flint was used within the musket mechanism to produce a spark and would last between 20-25 shots before it had to be replaced, ' Clive Bond, 0.
