County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic (Early) to Neolithic (Late) disc scraper, 33mm long, 33mm wide, 5mm thick and 9.3g in weight. Made on a rounded flake that has been worked centripetally into a disc by the application of semi-abrupt and in some parts abrupt retouch. The flint is opaque and has turned light grey through the process of patination. The butt is large and therefore the piece has been hard hammer struck. The left side has been notched, and the dorsal face possesses two parallel ridges created by unidirectional removals.

Neolithic (Early) to Bronze Age (Later) side and end scraper, 66mm long, 21mm wide, 5mm thick and 9.1g in weight. Made on a dark greyish brown semi-translucent flint. This piece has been struck from a bipolar blade core. The proximal end of the left and right lateral as well as the striking platform has been abruptly retouched to form a scraper edge. The dorsal face possesses a few scars and ridges made by bi-directional flaking.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic (Early) to Bronze Age (Later) rounded flake, 51mm long, 34mm wide, 11mm thick and 23.1g in weight. Made on an opaque flint that has turned a mid brownish grey through patination. The proximal end possesses some cortex and the butt is facetted. The dorsal ridges and scars suggest bidirectional working with some orthogonal removals as well. Although the piece is quite rounded no retouch or other working has taken place after the piece was originally removed.

County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic (Later) to Bronze Age (Early) borer, 57mm long, 25mm wide, 10mm thick and 11.1g in weight. Made on flint that has turned opaque and mid to light grey in colour through the process of patination. The piecer has been made by abrupt and semi abrupt retouch applied to the distal end on both faces (bifacial working). The ventral face has been worked all over and the the butt has been abruptly retouched to creat a scraper edge. The dorsal face possesses a central ridge and the flake scars are the result of unidirectional flaking by hard hammer technique.

Neolithic (Later) to Bronze Age (Early) discoidal knife, 51mm long, 45mm wide, 10mm thick and 31.1g in weight. Made on a dark grey opaque flint this knife has been fashioned on a large flake by bifical retouch that has blunted all parts of the edge. The bulb of percussion has been removed during the flaking process and the piece has been polished extensively. Small amount of cortex remains on the dorsal face.

Neolithic (Early) to Bronze Age (Later) core, 25mm long, 29mm wide, 21mm thick and 18.7g in weight. Made on a dark caramel brown opaque flint that has started to turn light grey through patination. The small core is in fresh condition and has been worked from two ends. Their is a main striking platform from which numerous small bladelet and flakes have been removed whist distally the a series of alternate removals have left a sharp edge that may have been used for cutting.
