Small fine igneous rock ball, probably greenstone but awaiting geological comment by Roger Taylor. The ball is circular in plan and ovate in profile and section, with pecking all over the upper surface and a flattened base, perhaps through grinding or hammering. Such pieces do turn up on domestic sites but not in any quantity compared to mullers and rubbers. On these objects the waterworn cobble surfaces are all fresh and unweathered, appropriate for selection from a beach during the Neolithic. The beach selection would ensure hard enduring pieces. It is quite possible that the wear o…

An inner flint flake that is grey in colour. The flake could have possibly been a knife or saw, but this is uncertain. There is one raised face with a central ridge, the other face is smooth. There is some evidence of retouching around the perimeter of the object. It weighs 3.1g and measures 28.38mm in length, 16.89mm in width and is 7.08mm in thickness.

A complete flint leaf shaped lithic of probable Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC), possibly a waste flake with some indication of retouching to the lateral margins. There are four main negative scars on the dorsal surface which create a raised triangular plan toward the proximal end, each of which contain cracking ripples, the distal end terminates in a point. One area of demonstrable cracking ripples are present on the ventral surface from one negative scar, the ventral surface however is predominantly smooth and without large negative scars. The lithic is light brown with cream inclus…

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Published
A possible fragment of a Neolithic polished flint axe. One side of the axe is raised and polished, whilst the other side is flat with concoidal lines, which is the indication that it is part of an axe. The object is sub rectangular and the edges are rough and irregular. The flint is grey in colour with some brown areas around the perimeter. It weighs 4.6g and measures 36.30mm in length, 19.94mm in with and 5.31mm in thickness.

Record ID: YORYM-530EF3
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete stone axehead of Neolithic date. The axehead is sub-oval in both plan and section with extensive damage to one side. One face is smooth and polished while the other has lost much of its original surface due to damage resulting in a rough irregular appearance. The cutting edge of the axe is still fairly sharp with two small damaged notches to either side. The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which…

An incomplete stone axehead of Neolithic date. The axehead is triangular in plan and oval in section with extensive damage along one edge. Both faces are largely smooth and polished however both have numerous chipped and broken areas. The cutting edge of the axe remains largely in tact and is still fairly sharp. The axe is comprised of a grey-green fine-grained siliceous tuff - a sedimentary volcanic rock possibly from the Great Langdale quarries in Cumbria. This stone was most probably chosen for its colour and fineness which allowed it to be highly polished. It is likely that axes…
