Flint fabricator. The object is bifacially worked with retouching along the edges. The end is blunt, this having been worn smooth. The object is sub-triangular in section. Fabricators are usually seen to be linked to manufacturing, perhaps of similar lithic tools.

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Broken lithic Implement, of light grey/brown material. The flint flake has been reworked as an 'end and side scraper' or possibly a leaf shaped arrowhead. Retouching is subparallel and covering. Both faces of the flake have been worked in the same fashion, with removals across the entire surface.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Polished or ground stone axehead fashioned from a light greyish-green coarse stone. Neolithic, circa 3500 to 2100 BC, possibly a Langdale greenstone axe. Oval in section, tapered towards both rounded cutting edge and squared butt end. The axe has some minor later damage, and some chips in the cutting edge. The axe is unsual in that it is divided into two areas - a polished half at the cutting edge end, and a rough, pitted half at the butt end. The two areas are clearly defined, and almost certainly deliberate (the pitting is perhaps to provide the butt with better grip).

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Barbed and tanged flint arrowhead, complete in good state of preservation. Light brown/grey milky fabric with invasive/covering removals to both faces. Typical Beaker arrowhead (c2500BC to c1000BC), similar to 'Sutton B' types (after Green, 1980). Ref: Bond (2004) 'Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics'.

Record ID: YORYM-3BF3B6
Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Neolithic Polished/Ground Stone Axehead. Material is probably a fine grained volcanic rock with small amounts of secondary metamorphic garnet, possibly originating in the Lake District (a substantial number of stone axes found in York originate in the Lake District). The axe has been ground/polished to a smooth but pitted surface. One face of the axehead is flat, the other is ridged, giving a roughly triangular section. The broad end of the axe is present, but the narrow end has broken off (roughly 1/3 of the axehead may be missing).

A very fine and well finished late Neolithic to early Bronze Age knife/dagger. The knife is a long pointed oval shape, with rounded tips. The knife has been heavily knapped to form the cutting edges and the surfaces. Both surfaces are rounded. The flint has a light brownish-grey patination. Multiple flakes have been removed from the surface of the knife and the cutting edges have been reworked. No natural cortex survives and no internal flint can be seen as the outer surface remains intact. There are some flaws within the make up of the flint. Ripples of percussion can be seen with i…

A small thumb scraper dating from the Neolithic period (circa 3500 – 2100 BC). The bulb of percussion and striking platform both survive on the ventral surface and the ripples of percussion can be seen. Flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface before this flake itself was removed, forming shallow arrises. The heavily retouched edge (the cutting edge) is steep, forming the characteristic thumb scraper.

A small, crudely made arrowhead or projectile. The arrowhead has been knapped out of flint and then pressure flaked. The arrowhead has been bifacially worked into an arrowhead shape. This type of arrowhead dates from the Neolithic to Bronze Age (circa 2500 – 1500 BC). The arrowhead is damaged resulting in the loss of the tip. Percussion ripples are evident.

A small Neolithic thumb scraper. The scraper has a shallow plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is roughly circular in overall shape. It has been formed from a light brownish-grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, but the ripples of percussion are still evident. There are many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate.
