Object type: SADDLE QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained Limestone saddle quern. A neat sub-rectangular block of stepped wedge-shaped profile, worn on its upper surface with a flat base which is indented only at its thicker end. The form is Neolithic, and a saddle quern would be used with a separate cobble grinding stone to grind corn to a coarse flour, and hence marks the advent of arable farming in the area whence it was reported. The small size and flat base – the latter perhaps suggesting use on a flat surface or even a table, which would be a remarkable feature to postulate in a Neolithic settlement – are perhap…

Record ID: NLM-9AA145
Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Buff coloured flint point, possibly early neolithic. The source record suggests an identification as a [leaf] arrowhead but the mass is greater than might be expected for a projectile tip; it also implies a broken butt. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2500 BC Length: 35.7mm, Width: 26.5mm, Thickness: 6.1mm, Weight: 6.43gms

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey flint with cortex possible knife fragment. A large flake with an apparently curved cutting edge, neatly truncated on one end where a flat and possibly smoothed surface of lentoid form appears. A large flake has been removed from behind the putative cutting edge by hard hammer strike from the dorsal aspect, possibly affording a thumb rest. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect appears to follow the curving edge, its progress marked by the removal of a pale patinated surface to reveal the pale grey flint below – though a similar colour change also appears …

Pale brown flint possible borer. A thin triangular flake with a tiny triangular point projecting from its shortest side. A pair of flakes were removed from the dorsal side, while the ventral surface is slightly bulbar. Short abrupt retouch delivered from both the dorsal and ventral aspects formed the point, with a further strip of very short abrupt retouch delivered from the ventral aspect along part of one of the longer sides.

Object type: BACKED BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey-brown flint with possibly marine derived ‘cortex’ possible backed blade. A narrow flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and  a concave rippled ventral surface. Long angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect travels parallel to the long edge, and was perhaps followed by short abrupt retouch adjacent. The cortex, which may be marine derived, may have been retained to permit pressure to be brought to bear on what must have been an ephemeral cutting edge.

Grey-brown mottled flint backed blade. A thick D-shaped flake with a single large flake trimmed from its dorsal side by hard hammer strike and with part of a bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the longer curving edge. The butt enabling pressure to be brought to bear may have been formed by trimming or loss of part of a slightly larger flake, as implied by the incomplete bulb; it is now attractively polished by use-wear. A flake may also have been detached by hard hammer strike delivered from the ventral aspect to improve…
