Object type: KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint knife which has been reused at a later date in the Neolithic as a scraper. The knife edge is formed on the right side of the D shaped flint. It has invasive retouch on both faces. The proximal end was then remodelled as a scraping edge with semi abrupt retouch from the dorsal face. The scraper was probably hafted at the distal end, which has snapped and is unpatinated. The flint is opaque grey and has a mottled white patina.

Record ID: SWYOR-058267
Object type: POINT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint projectile point dating from the Neolithic period, about 3500 - 2100 BC. It is triangular in plan, the distal end being a deliberate break across the flake. It is also triangular in section with a central dorsal ridge. Both sides and the proximal point are retouched with irregular abrupt removals. It is unlikely that this is an arrowhead but as the break is deliberate it was probably hafted at the broken end and was used as some form of projectile. It is 26.8mm long, 21.8mm wide and 5.6mm thick. It weighs 3.33gm. The flint is mottled tan and grey.

A retouched flint flake of uncertain date, either mesolithic or neolithic, dating from 8300 - 2100 BC. It is sub-triangular in plan and triangular in section.

A flint retouched flake of uncertain date, either mesolithic or neolithic, dating from 8300 - 2100 BC. It is a secondary flake with cortex at the proximal end. It is wedge shaped being triangular in section and oval in plan. The curved distal end has been retouched with fine abrupt removals, some slightly invasive. This was possibly utilised as a scraping edge but is not a formal tool. It is 28.7mm long, 16.5mm wide and 9.8mm thick. It weighs 3.89gm. The flint is tan coloured.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A discoidal flint scraper dating from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, 3000 BC - 1500 BC. It is made of a dark-coloured flint that is frequently found in North Yorkshire and may have been imported to the find location.

A flint multi functional tool dating from the Neolithic period, about 3500 BC - 2100 BC. The tool is formed on a blade of translucent grey flint which is slightly patinated and which is lozenge shaped in section. The distal end is a hinged termination. The proximal end has been removed and retouched on an oblique angled. The right edge has invasive retouch forming a knife blade, and the left edge has abrupt retouch at the proximal end to form a scraping edge.
