A broken waste piece of near black Portland chert with tertiary cortex. It has been deliberately snapped from a longer tool with shallow retouch on the dorsal face. There is no use wear, which suggests that it was never used. There is no retouch on the ventral face.

Object type: WASTE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A knapped flint waste flake dating to the Bronze Age, c. 2150-800 BC. The flake has a very large bulb of percussion and ripples on the ventral face; the dorsal face has three blade removals. There is a small area of possible retouch visible on the dorsal face, but the condition of the cherty flint makes the evaluation of this difficult and the extent of the possible retouch suggests that this flake was not used as a tool. It measures 59.5 mm long, 40.2 mm wide, 10.4 mm thick and weighs 25.61 grams.

Five large fragments of un-worked flint. Probably either un-worked raw product or naturally occurring flint. These have been recorded for the sake of completeness as they were collected along with the other material from the Wem area and that flint only occurs in riverine and glacial deposits in Shropshire. This is part of a larger flint assemblage from the Wem area. See records:

Two fragments of flintworking debris dating from the Neolithic period through to the Bronze age. One piece is sub-triangular in plan. The flint is 22.63 mm in width, 16.70 mm in length and 6.46 mm thick. The flint weights 1.8g. One side of the object is jagged and irregular with no evidence of working. The other side is smother with ripples and small bulbar scars suggesting this fragment has been flaked off the core. The other flint fragment is 12.67 mm wide, 13.67 mm long and 8.12 mm thick. This fragment weights 1.7 g. The flat side of this fragment does not show evidence of kn…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A possible knapped flint Palaeolithic tool or flake. The fragment is knapped from flint which is a mottled light grey/cream colour, but where there is the original surface remaining it has developed a heavy patination, which is a age/brown colour. Only a fragment of the object has this heavy patination, but it is these areas which appear to be negative flake scars. On both scars ripples of percussion are visible. Otherwise the surfaces of the object are caused by recent damage. It weighs 14.15g. The patination, shape of the flake scars and ripples of percussion suggest this was knappe…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Pale grey semi-translucent flint of good quality, unidentified object. Flake with covering angled scalar working on its dorsal side and flat and faintly rippled on the ventral. The flake is particularly thin and the extent of working suggests it is from a larger object. Some edges (illustrated to top) bear very short abrupt retouch; those at the other end are probably broken. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 26.6mm, Width: 31.9mm, Thickness: 4.5mm, Weight: 3.60gms.

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
Mottled grey semi-translucent flint of high quality transverse arrowhead. Knapped flint transverse arrow head. A notched lozenge-shaped flint with long blade removal scars on what is taken to be the dorsal side hammer and pressure flaking particularly on the rear end of blade; some further scars appear to be struck from the edges and probably represent post-depositional damage. This flint was previously noted by Mike Hemblade of the North Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100 BC. Length: 50.8mm, Width: 21.1mm, Thickness: 5mm, Weight: 3.65gms.
