Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped lithic implement of Bronze Age date, circa 2350 - 800 BC. The implement is a large crude scraper formed from a natural flake which is curved ovate in plan and sub-D-shaped in section. Both surfaces retain around 25% cortex and both have been invasively worked. The left edge has an inward curve which bears steep retouch.
The flint is a dark bluish-grey colour with lighter inclusions. The implement is 68.9mm long, 27.2mm wide, 13.1mm thick and weighs 32g.
Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than…

Object type: SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped lithic implement of early Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 3500 BC. The object is a serrated blade or saw which is D-shaped in both plan and section. The dorsal surface has had three long narrow flakes removed and has been notched along the left edge to create a serrated surface. The right edge is flat and steep retaining cortex. The distal edge has also been serrated though to a lesser degree than the left edge. The ventral surface is smooth with visible ripples of percussion.
The flint is a mid bluish-grey colour with abundant lighter inclusions. The object is 44.1…

Record ID: YORYM-5A8B72
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped lithic implement of late Neolithic date, circa 2700 - 2100 BC. The axehead is sub-ovate in plan and pointed ovate in section. The implement has been bi-facially worked with flaking over all surfaces and appears to have been struck from various directions. The edges have been more extensively worked with fine shallow retouch creating the cutting edge.
The flint is a mid mottled grey colour with abundant lighter inclusions. The axehead is 102.5mm long, 44.9mm to 22.4mm wide, 17.3mm thick and weighs 97g.

Record ID: SF-5A0102
Object type: TRANCHET AXEHEAD
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete possible rough out trachet axehead of Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date.
It is a mid-grey flint with calcareous inclusions. It is an elongated oval with a flat broken butt. The possible blade is crescentic blade with a roughly D-shaped cross-section as the dorsal face is flat. There are signs of modern damage on all faces, perhaps through rolling or plough damage.
Some percussion lines are dubious and there is no visible bi-facial working. Therefore, alternatively it could be a very rolled and abraded flint nodule impacted by a plough or other modern damage.
