Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
Neolithic flint arrowhead. Made on a tertiary flake, mid-bluish-grey opaque patina. Butt is on the left edge but platform has been retouched away. The entire piece has been retouched (short, abrupt, scaler) with inverse on the base and direct elsewhere. The right edge was a step-fracture. This piece could have been an abruptly-retouched small side-and-end scraper but the designed wide tip is directly opposite evidence of flaking and notching with some parallel, low-angle retouch producing a small tang-like base.

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
Neolithic flint oblique arrowhead. Made on a re-used secondary flake, very light greyish-blue opaque patina. The flake possesses unidirectional dorsal scars and is worked on the base (which is the distal end of the flake) by abrupt truncations to form a tang and barb. Small notch and thinning on the left. These workings are patinated very differently and the translucent nature of the flint can be seen, suggesting that this is a Mesolithic flake worked into an oblique arrowhead in the later Neolithic.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Windsor and Maidenhead
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Medieval to post Medieval lead-alloy, uniface token of uncertain type dating to c. AD 1250 - 1800. The token is circular in plan. The design of the token consists raised lines to depict an unclear motif. Parts of the outside edge are worn and corroded. The reverse is plain and smooth. The token is 24.3mm in diameter, 3.2mm thick, and weighs 8.57g. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date.
