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…

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 …

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 cast copper-alloy scabbard chape of late 15th to 16th century. The chape is cast in one piece and is broadly shield shaped in plan. The sides curve and then converge at the base terminating in a basal lobed or globular knop. The top of the chape has a central lobe, which appears to be broken, flanked by concave curves with pointed projections at either side, one missing. A slightly raised rib runs down the centre of the front of the chape. To either side of the rib there are openwork designs consisting of an asymmetrical circle above a sub-rectangle but is otherwise undecorated. The…
