Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic date, circa 7000 - 4000 BC. The implement is a piece of debitage, or waste material, produced during the knapping process. It is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-D-shaped in section. The bulb of percussion and striking platform remain on the ventral surface from which ripples of percussion radiate. The dorsal surface is irregular with flakes of varying sizes having been removed. Short, parallel retouch is present along both sides and also the flattened distal end.
The flint is a light grey colour. The implement is 20.5mm long, 11.1m…

Object type: BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped lithic implement of early Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 3500 BC. The implement is broken at both terminals however as its length is more than twice the width and the sides are more or less parallel it is identifiable as a blade. It is formed from a tertiary flake which is rectangular in both plan and section. The ventral surface is smooth with faint ripples of percussion. The distal surface has had three long flakes removed and displays abrupt, short, sub-parallel flaking to the left edge mesial portion.
The flint is a light orange-brown colour. The implement …

Object type: FLAKED AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped lithic axehead of Neolithic date (c.4000 BC - 2200 BC). The axehead is broken and may have been reused as a scraper. When complete the object would have been ovate in both plan and section though around half of the axehead is now missing due to a transverse break. The axehead has been bifacially flaked using covering scaled low angle flaking. Short scaled semi-abrupt retouch is visible along the distal edge suggesting the object may have been repurposed as a scraper after breaking.
The flint is an off-white patchy colour. The implement is 56.6mm long, 53mm wid…

A complete flint side scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC).The lithic is sub-spatulate in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with a central corresponding arrise. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted and there is a minor amount of scaled flaking at the distal end. The dorsal surface has voids situated along the length of the mesial section which are naturally occurring within the calcite cortex. The left hand proximal edge has a tapering or notched aspect. All edges with the exception of the proximal contain fine…

A lithic thumb scraper of Neolithic date designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. The object is oval in shape with a D-shaped section. The edges appear to show signs of being worked. The dorsal surface is flat and the worked edge is quite steep. The striking platform and bulb of percussion no longer seem to remain however evidence of ripples of percussion can still be seen.
The flint is a mid whitish-grey colour with some lighter inclusions. One side has a small amount of cortex re-growth. The scraper is 29.8mm long, 27.7mm wide, 7.7mm thick and weighs 6.6g.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three flint tools/flakes.
Left- A light brown/orange material. It is possibly a late Neolithic tranchet arrowhead. Sub-triangular in plan with the two upper sides being slightly concave and a median ridge on each point from the centre.
Middle- Grey material which fades from a dark to a light shade from top to bottom. Irregular in plan with one curved edge. Possibly a late Neolithic- Early Bronze Age scraper.
Right- Light grey material. This is most likely debitage but could have been re-used to form a scraper. It is difficult to see the detail from the image
