Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lilly Chitty Collection An Early Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead (2,500 to 1,500 BC), light grey in colour. This piece is sub-triangular in plan and sub-rectilinear in section. A comparatively coarsely-made piece to the other of these 10 (of which this is the last, with the number "10" written in biro on the ventral face), this piece is probably of the Beaker period, spanning the first few centuries of the Bronze Age. The one edge has been ripple-flaked quite neatly, whereas the other has not been - this could have been a utilised flake. The better-worked edge has a neate…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lilly Chitty Collection A Late Neolithic oblique arrowhead (3,200 to 2,500 BC), grey in colour with some small lighter inclusions. This piece is sub-triangular in plan and sub-rectilinear in section. The ninth of 10 pieces, the number "9" has been written in biro on the dorsal face. This arrowhead has been bifacially worked on all sides from a flake, with the tip missing, most likely broken off during its period in the soil as it is not a clean break. The thickness at the proximal end suggests that this end was hafted into the end of an arrow, with the distal end providing the p…

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lilly Chitty Collection A Bronze Age thumbnail scraper (2,500 to 800 BC), black in colour. This piece is sub-circular in plan and sub-triangular in section. The eighth of 10 pieces, this piece has the number "8" written in biro on a label stuck to the ventral face. This small scraper, made of high quality black flint, has been subjected to a substantial amount of weathering, and was probably found within the vicinity of a paleochannel, as it looks and feels water-worn. Despite this wear, some rings of percussion are still visible on the dorsal face where flakes have been removed…
