Record ID: NLM-E37508
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with cortex spot, lithic implement. An irregular star-shaped flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side, and with an almost flat ventral surface. This initial working was followed by the development of a misty patina suggesting a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. The flake was reused, as evidenced by the trimming of patinated surfaces by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect following the edges of the object, and by more limited angled scalar retouch of the initially ventral surface executed from the ventral aspect. Light crushing occur…

Record ID: NLM-E36AF0
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint core, as kindly identified by the finder. A pyramidal or columnar core with long narrow parallel flakes removed almost all around by unidirectional working from a flat striking platform. A limited patch of patina may suggest the nodule had previously been exposed for a period to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Late Mesolithic, 7000-4000 BC.

Record ID: NLM-E35ED9
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with cortex patches, scraper. A thick chunk with large broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side by hard hammer, and with its opposite side [not here characterised as ventral as cortex remains on both the sides] stripped by multangular hard hammer working similarly removing large parallel flakes. The appearance of finer retouch probably arises from edge-on impacts and localised crushing of edges may arise from use of the tool. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
