Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flint core probably of Mesolithic date to Early Neolithic date (c. 8000 - 3300 BC). The object is made from a dark-grey/dark-brown translucent flint. The surface of the flint is very clear and is not covered by any white patina associated with recortication. However, there is an area of cortex remaining on the flint. The object has a sub-conical shape. It is most likely an example of a conical bladelet core. There is a single striking platform, which serves as the flat base of the cone-like object. There is also a single flaking surface that wraps around the re…

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

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 …

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of uncertain date, probably Mesolithic to Neolithic, 9000 - 2200 BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of rich brown flint. The distal end has short scaled, semi-abrupt retouch, and the proximal end has similar retouch, but more invasive, and from both faces. The flint is 36.7mm long, 28.4mm wide, 5.2mm thick and weighs 6.07g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable flint fabricator or rod probably dating from the early Mesolithic to late bronze-age period. Description: The fabricator is an elongated rectangle in shape and triangular in cross-section. It is made on a secondary flake with a small area of pale brown cortex at the distal end. The dorsal side bears the scars of the removal of two earlier longitudinal flakes. The bulb of percussion has been removed by retouch but there are conchoidal ripples along the full length of the ventral face. There is invasive, scaled semi-abrupt flake removal scar…

A Neolithic Greenstone axe presumed to be of Group VI (6), a product of the Langdale Pike axe factory. This example is an edge-polished flint axe, limited polishing it typical of the late Neolithic. It is covered in scaled and low angle flaking. The axe is pointed oval in cross-section and is broadly sub-rectangular, with a rounded polished cutting edge and a tapered, abraded and rounded butt. The Langdale greenstone axes were traded from a quarry on Langdale Pike, Cumbria, and their distribution around the Humber estuary is denser than anywhere except around the p…
