Object type: POT BOILER
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-cuboidal piece of burnt flint/chert, possibly used as a prehistoric pot boiler. The surface is a greyish white with a crazed surface which is consistant with heating and rapid cooling cycles. Length: 47.09 mm. Width:38.24 mm. Thickness:29.49 mm. Weight:73 grams. FLO comment: The evidence for such stones having been used as pot boilers is limited, and it is possible that this is simply an accidentally burned stone.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-ovoid piece of burnt flint, possibly used as a prehistoric pot boiler. The surface is a greyish white with a crazed surface consistent with the heating and rapid cooling of flint. A number of flint implements have been found in the immediate area dating from the Mesolithic: Neolithic and the Bronze Age. Length: 53.06 mm. Width: 36.51 mm. Thickness: 28.01 mm. Weight: 63 grams. FLO comment: The evidence for such stones having been used as pot boilers is limited, and it is possible that this is simply an accidentally burned stone.

Record ID: NLM-72883D
Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey flint with patches of cloudy patina possible transverse arrowhead, as kindly identified by the finder. Irregular flake with flakes removed from opposite directions on its dorsal side and with a low bulb on the ventral. A chip at one corner of the putative arrowhead may detract from what was already a fairly irregular form. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC. Length: 22.8mm, Width: 26.5mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 1.70gms.

Record ID: NLM-727B41
Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale buff flint with cortex and cloudy white patina patches knife. Flake with a single flake removed from its dorsal side and a prominent bulb on the ventral, both from hard hammer strike. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect interrupts the patina and forms a cutting edge along one curving side. Cortex is also removed along from the opposite edge; this and other chips which interrupt cortex or patina could have arisen fortuitously. Both episodes of deliberate working could be accommodated within the Neolithic period. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. …

Record ID: NLM-726BE1Z
Object type: PLANO CONVEX KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint thickly patinated with cortex possible plano-convex knife. Elongated flake of plano-convex section. Minimal short abrupt pressure flaked retouch along one edge has trimmed cortex to produce a single durable cutting edge. It seems likely that the patination of the ventral surface was acquired before this reworking. Suggested date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2700-1600 BC. Length: 45.0mm, Width: 20mm, Thickness: 7.6mm, Weight: 8.79gms.

Record ID: NLM-725E27
Object type: PLANO CONVEX KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint with cortex and cloudy patina plano-convex knife. Flake with a bulb on its ventral side and with parallel strips of invasive scalar retouch on both its long sides removing cortex and forming durable cutting edges. These have acquired an identical patina to the ventral side, which extends to an obliquely snapped end. Suggested date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2700-1600 BC. Length: 33.4mm, Width: 18.2mm, Thickness: 8.0mm, Weight: 5.68gms.

Record ID: NLM-725076
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Oblique arrowhead, grey flint with cortex spot and cloudy patches of patina triangular arrowhead. Leaf-shaped flake with covering retouch on its dorsal side and with faint broad ripples on the ventral. The base of the point is lightly engrailed with an off-centre projection, a form anticipating the barbed and tanged type. Suggested date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2700-1600 BC. Length: 24.4mm, Width: 15.8mm, Thickness: 3.9mm, Weight: 1.51gms.

Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale semi-translucent flint transverse arrowhead, as kindly identified by the finder. Small flake with long parallel flakes removed from the dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral, the working of the two sides being at right angles. Short abrupt retouch, probably a single impact, has trimmed what is here taken as the cutting edge of the arrowhead. The projectile must have received nearly all its effect from the combined power of bow and weight of the arrow shaft behind this lightweight head. Suggested date: Late Neolithic, 2700-2350 BC. Length: 11.4mm, Width: 14.2mm, Thicknes…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with cortex and cloudy patina debitage. A small elongated flake of very slightly curved profile. The accumulation of patina was followed by slight chipping; all could be fortuitous. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 22.2mm, Width: 10.2mm, Thickness: 3.5mm, Weight: 1.00gms.
