County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Mesolithic - early Bronze Age scraper, circa 6500BC-1500BC. The scraper would appear to have been made from a reused flake. It is light and dark grey mottled in colour with a small platform and bulb present, and a tiny amount of cortex still adhering to the dorsal face. There are four negative scar removals from the dorsal face and some evidence of edge retouch but mostly edge utilisation. The ventral face has several ripples.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped broken flint tool, probably a knife tip, probably late Mesolithic-early Neolithic in date (c. 6500 BC- 2900 BC). Light brown in colour and the platform has broken off. There are two clear negative scar removals from the dorsal face, and considerable edge retouch all around the dorsal face edge, with the most invasive positioned on the left mesial edge.

Record ID: NLM-1D3BA2
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey flint with cortex and light patchy cloudy patina knife fragment. Flake with broad flakes removed from the dorsal side and with a trimmed bulb on the ventral side which creates a markedly thin profile. A relict of cortex along one edge is interrupted by a series of tiny notches which appear to mark the start of a serrated blade. Edge damage also occurs here on the ventral side, but these scars arise from impact against the edge and may be fortuitous. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 33.3mm, Width: 21mm, Thickness: 3.9mm, Weight: 3.16gms.

Grey flint with cortex and light patches of patina probable scraper. Oval flake with broad flake removal from both sides and with cortex at one edge; other edges are battered. The unlovely appearance and crude working commend a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 34.3mm, Width: 39.8mm, Thickness: 14.7mm, Weight: 23.34gms.

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint, with cloudy patina overall save where chipped, knife. Long flake with long broad parallel flakes removed from its dorsal side and with a low bulb on the ventral, all from unidirectional working. Invasive scalar and short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect forms cutting edges along both long sides. The finder kindly cites NLM-36E882 as a possible parallel and suggests an Early Bronze Age date and an identification as a plano-convex knife, though the limited extent of retouch may distinguish this object from that type. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint with cortex debitage. Two fragments with hard hammer flake removal scars on their dorsal sides and with prominent bulbs and ripples on their ventral sides. The entirely unpatinated surfaces may suggest a relatively recent date and/or recent disturbance from a sealed context. The larger fragment has a battered edge, though this might be fortuitous damage. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC, Combined Weight: 33.83gms.

Dark grey semi-translucent flint of good quality saw. Flake with broad parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral, all from unidirectional working, and with one finely serrated edge, more easily felt than seen, along one curving side, the latter executed as very short abrupt retouch from the dorsal aspect.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper, most likely from the late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age, circa 2500BC-1500BC. Medium grey in colour with a small amount of cortex still adhering to the dorsal face and the platform and bulb are present.The whole of the dorsal face is worked indicating that it may have been taken off the edge of an axe (an axe sharpening flake) and then retouched at a later date into a scraper. The original date for the axe is most likely Late Neolithic.There is evidence of edge retouch/utilisation around 2/3 of the edge.

Pale grey flint with patina overall flint knife. Triangular flake with long parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side, and with a small bulb at its narrow end. The object is lightly curved in profile, which may argue against the finder's suggestion that it is a chisel arrowhead, though the broad end does indeed have a long flake removed from along that edge, and across the alignment of other working. Suggested date: early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 32.5mm, Width: 17.2mm, Thickness: 2.8mm, Weight: 1.77gms.

Dark grey flint of good quality, with slight cloudy patina on the dorsal side only, lithic implement. Oval flake with broad parallel flake removal scars on its dorsal side and a prominent bulb on the ventral. Both long edges are crushed or battered from the dorsal side while the ends are similarly modified from the ventral side. The material resembles that of NLM-1CD265 Length: 36.2mm, Width: 21.5mm, Thickness: 7.5mm, Weight: 5.48gms.. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey-brown flint of good quality, with slight cloudy patina on the dorsal side only, saw. Flake with parallel flakes removed from the dorsal sider and faint ripples across the ventral. One edge bears very fine serrations, better felt than seen, executed by very short retouch executed from the dorsal side. Broken and battered at both ends, probably deliberately as the object fits well between finger and thumb. The material resembles that of NLM-1CE34B. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.

Grey flint with cortex bifacially worked knife fragment. Flake with broad flake removal scars on its dorsal side and both broad and narrow flake removal scars on its ventral side. The dorsal side bears invasive parallel low angled retouch, some at least appearing as if worked from the edge inwards, while one end bears short retouch executed from the ventral side. The object has broken at a hinged fracture at one end, probably recently. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 41.2mm, Width: 28.5mm, Thickness: 7.7mm, Weight: 12.46gms.
