Record ID: LANCUM-3F1C46
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A barbed and tanged arrowhead, formed by knapping. It is made of a pale semi- transluscent flint with some inclusions. It is slightly flatter on one side then the other, and the tip of one of the barbs is missing. Having been found near a beach it has been worn so no sharp edge remains, but the shape is consistent. Arrowheads such as these, see also NMGW-24C12C, are classified as Sutton Type B (Green 1980) are commonly associated with the emergence of the Beaker phenomenon in Britain.
Dimensions: It is 21mm long and 16mm wide, it weighs 1.53g

Dark grey-brown flint blade.

A large flint blade core of later mesolithic date with a single striking platform, struck from a dark brown flint. The core is triangular in shape with parallel removal scars around half of its circumference. A patch of grey-brown cortex remains down one side. The other has a single large removal scar with battering damage and small flaked removals around the edge, running off it one side perpendicular to the striking platform and partially overlying it. This suggests a secondary use for the core, possibly as a hammer.

A complete flint Scraper of Neolithic date (3450-2100 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in plan and bi-convex in section. The proximal end retains some cortex while the distal edge is curved. All edges with the exception of the proximal end have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly convex with six negative scars and corresponding arises. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.
The flint is dark/light grey in colour, the cortex is light brown in colour.

A complete Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flint scraper dating to circa BC 4000-1600. It is a sub-oval secondary flake with a small amount of cortex on the left mesal. There is evidence of retouching, the shape suggests potential original manufacture as an arrow head and reuse as a scraper. It is manufactured from a caramel coloured flint. Length 56.69mm, width 37.52mm, weight 15.89g.
