Record ID: YORYM-2929E5
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Polished or ground stone axehead fashioned from a light greyish-green coarse stone. Neolithic, circa 3500 to 2100 BC, possibly a Langdale greenstone axe. Oval in section, tapered towards both rounded cutting edge and squared butt end. The axe has some minor later damage, and some chips in the cutting edge. The axe is unsual in that it is divided into two areas - a polished half at the cutting edge end, and a rough, pitted half at the butt end. The two areas are clearly defined, and almost certainly deliberate (the pitting is perhaps to provide the butt with better grip).

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small Neolithic thumb scraper. The scraper has a shallow plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is roughly circular in overall shape. It has been formed from a light brownish-grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, but the ripples of percussion are still evident. There are many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate.

A large Neolithic scraper, which has been elaborately worked. The scraper has a plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is tear-dropped shaped over all. It has been formed from a light orangey-white flint, with creamy-white flaws within the flake matrix. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident. The dorsal surface is still coated with 5% natural cortex. There are also some steep arrises. The upper end of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep.
