Record ID: PUBLIC-C8395E
Object type: BORER
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A borer or piercer fabricated on a pebble of dark brown flint. The flint pebble has been subject to a single strike to thin one end of it. There is no bulb of percussion evident but percussion ripples can be seen on the exposed face. The rest of the flint pebble is covered in a thick, off- white cortex The pebble has been finely and steeply pressure-flaked at the thinned end on two sides to produce a narrow point suitable for boring or piercing. The tip of the point has been broken off and lost. This object is probably of Mesolithic date.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint, notched scraper dating to the Neolithic period. The scraper is fabricated on a wedge-shaped piece of mottled, light and dark brown flint, possibly a natural pebble. The outer surface of the scraper retains a full covering of light brown cortex. From the outer cortex, the flint tapers to a point along its length, with both inner sides being free of any cortex. At one end, the flint has been pressure-flaked into a semi-circular notch.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A tertiary blade struck from a core of honey-coloured flint. There is a small bulb of percussion at the proximal end of the blade, with ripples of percussion across the ventral face. The dorsal face has scars where three previous blades have been removed, one ending in a hinge fracture. The blade does not appear to have any further working to it but it is very abraded along its edges so it cannot be ruled out. The whole object is beginning to recorticate with an off-white patination. Most of the high-points have aquired an orange-coloured patination. It is difficult to accurately date…

Record ID: PUBLIC-C41DBF
Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tool fabricated from a secondary, struck blade of dark brown flint. There is a small bulb of percussion at the proximal end of the blade, with ripples of percussion across the ventral face. The dorsal face has two small areas of cortex remaining and has scars where three previous blades have been removed. The blade has been worked along both long edges and around the the distal end using short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch to create scraping edges. This tool probably dates to the Neolithic period.

Record ID: PUBLIC-BDEEF5
Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A long, curved blade of honey-coloured nodular flint. The ventral face has a small bulb of percussion below an area of flat striking platform and ripples across the face. The dorsal face is rough and predominantly covered in white cortex. There is some removal of cortex at the proximal end where the striking platform was prepared and there are two short blade removal scars running down from the distal end. There is no further working on the blade. It is likely that this is debitage from axe or core production and likely to date from the early Neolithic to the early Bronze Age..
