Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint core. In plan the core is sub-oval with linear scars on the sides as well as the upper face. The lower face has cortex remaining. The core weighs 8.9g. It measures 24.16mm from the upper to the lower edge, 21.57mm wide and 16.54mm thick. Phil Watson (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) dates the core as dating to the Neolithic period (-3500 to -2100).

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint end scraper. The scraper is a dary grey colour with a small patch of cortex. In plan it is a sub-oval shape. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around a side and distal end, the upper edge forms a possible striking platform. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The angle of the retouch is c. 60 degrees. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has concentric rings. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 48.62mm long and is 23.1mm wide. It weighs 23.1g. The scraper pro…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint side scraper. The scraper is a mottled dark grey colour. In plan it is a sub-ovalshape. The dorsal face has retouch along one long edge. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars which have been pressure flaked. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has concentric rings and the bulb of percussion. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 21.18mm long and is 32.44mm wide. It weighs 6.8g. The side scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, c. 3500 to 1500 B.C.

A cast copper alloy bracelet: The bracelet has an oval section and is undecorated except for the terminal. One terminal is broken, but not too recently. The other terminal has moulded decoration consisting of a horizontal ‘T’ shape with a pair of notches along the edge on either side. In plan for the bracelet has been distorted and forms a coil with the terminals sticking out beyond the coil. At the opposite edge at the apex of the coil there is a slightly tear and crack on the exterior face due to the distortion. The bracelet has an incomplete well developed shiny brown patina. It…

Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper-alloy blade from a tanged knife. Mid to Late Bronze Age. Length: 104mm, width: 24.2mm, thickness: 4.0mm. The square sectioned tang tapers and is broken at the tip. The straight-sided blade is slightly bent near to the tang and broken at the end. The blade has an elliptical cross-section, with a central midrib on both sides and bevelled cutting edges (which are slightly incomplete). None of the breaks appear to be recent. The blade has a smooth light green patina, which is absent from the more pitted surface of the tang.

An incomplete bronze age copper alloy tanged knife. The external edges of the tang are incomplete. There is a circular rivet hole in the tang, approximately 4mm in diameter, which is also incomplete. There are striations across one side of the tang, transverse to the orientation of the blade. In profile, the tang expands in thickness towards the blade. There are curved incisions at the edges of the knife, between the tang and the blade, visible when the object is viewed in plan. A midrib runs down both sides of the blade, flanked by shallow and uneven voids. The blade is broadly lozen…

County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy fragment, probably from an edged blade of unknown type. The fragment is 30.90mm long, with a pronounced but narrow lozenge-section midrib. The blade wings are largely complete, although one wing is bent at the cutting edge. The width of the fragment narrows from 34.87mm to 23.89mm towards the tip which is missing. There is no central cavity visible within the midrib, although the terminals of the midribs are partially obscured by soil. The fragment weighs 18.58g. A lightly pitted dark brown patina is visible on a small area of one of the blade wings, but gener…

Object type: PERFORATED OBJECT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic to Neolithic stone pebble hammer or mace head. The pebble hammer is sub-triangular in both plan and an elongated pointed oval in profile. The pebble, identified by Dr. Jon Radley (Warwickshire Museum) is a hard sandstone, probably quartz-cemented. Due to the 'hardness' it resembles a 'Bunter quartzite' pebble. These are river worn pebbles of hard sandstone that are widely distributed throughout the Midlands. The pebble is a mottled yellow/brown colour and is smooth. It is probable that the shape of the pebble has been augmented by polishing. The central shaft hole is a wide…

An incomplete cast copper alloy barbed and tanged arrowhead, dating to the Bronze Age, between 2150 - 800 BC (length: 42mm; width at barbs: 28mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 7.67g). The haft end of a flat arrowhead with bevelled blade edges to the left and right on the outside of the barbs, which is also visible on both sides of the artefact. The barbs are both broken but have a surviving length of 5mm (measured at the longest surviving barb), a width of 7mm with a thickness of 2mm. The outside blade edges of the arrowhead slant inwards to taper towards the blade tip, which is no long…
