Record ID: YORYM-6E82E3
Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic thumb nail scraper of Neolithic date (circa 3500 - 2100 BC) designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. It has been finely knapped. The object is oval in shape and sub-rectangular in section although the depth tapers from one end of the object to the other. The curved edge showing signs of extensive retouch and working. The retouch is shallow. The striking platform and bulb of percussion both survive and ripples of percussion can clearly be seen. The flint is a mid reddish-brown colour with some lighter flaws.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Neolithic axehead (or possibly an adze). The axe dates from between circa 3500 BC to 2100 BC. The implement has been extensively knapped and highly polished into a sub-oval shape. One terminal tapers to a slightly pointed end; the other (the butt) is rounded and wider. The butt end is asymmetrical, while the tapered terminal appears damaged. No natural cortex is visible on the surface of the axe. Both terminals and in fact the entire surface of the axe or adze has been finely knapped and polished. The narrow terminal has been worked to form a sharp and precise cutting edge; it has b…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic implement of Neolithic date, it appears to be the rough out of a leaf shaped arrowhead. The object is oval in shape and has a flat section. Both surfaces have been heavily worked with shallow flakes being removed from both surfaces. The striking platform, bulb of percussion and ripples of percussion have all been removed by later working. The flint is a light whitish-grey colour with some lighter flaws. There are no signs of cortex re-growth.

Record ID: YORYM-C83F26
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked piece of flint flake, resembling the shape of a Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead, but the working is too crude to be an arrowhead. The length of this artefact is more than twice the width and the sides are rounded and worked. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, there is some evidence of retouch along the length of the flake. There is a large flaw in the matrix in the flint, which would have rendered this flake as useless. The flint is a light whitish-grey colour with some lighter flaws.
