County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A late Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint scraper. The object is sub-oval in plan. Conchoidal ripple marks are visible along both the dorsal and ventral face. An angled striking platform is visible above a large bulb of percussion indicating a hard hammer was used when striking the flint. Along the rounded edge is long scaled and abrupt retouch. The cortex remains on the opposite edge of the object.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A Neolithic or Bronze Age sub circular patinated white and caramel flint 'pot lid' modified to perform as a scraper. It has a number of small, occasional, short, abrupt removals, and a few larger invasive removals. The latter may be a result of plough action, or possibly evidence of reuse. Probably Neolithic or Bronze Age (c4000 to c800 BC) but impossible to date accurately. The length is 31mm, the width is 18mm, the thickness is 4mm, and the weight is 1.5g. Modified natural 'pot lids' would have made an expedient 'quick fix' tool in an emergency and may indicate the presence o…

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint coarse retouched flake probably dating to the later Bronze Age. The object is triangular in cross-section with the remains of cortex on one side of the dorsal face. At the proximal end is a large triangular striking platform while a small (possibly accidental) triangular platform is at the distal end. Along the long edge the retouch is short, sub-parallel and at a low angle. A small amount of retouch is also on the opposite edge where the cortex has been removed. It is also short, sub-parallel and low angled. The flint has a dark grey cortex and a toffee brown to light cream m…

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Wirral
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A flint blade probably dating for the Late Upper Palaeolithic or early Mesolith period, c.13,000-8,000BC. The object is sub-oval in plan and 'wedge-shaped' in cross-section. Each face is smooth and no remains of the cortex are left. The long narrow edge is sharp and there is a small amount of retouch. The retouch is short and sub-parallel at an abrupt angle. The thicker wedge like edge measures 14mm in thickness and has had 4 flakes removed from it. One tip of the object is triangular in section and possibly has been broken, measuring 5mm in thickness. The opposite end is trapezoidal …

County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Flint tool probably dating to the Bronze age, (2150BC-800BC). It is poorly made but has been retouched slightly on one face. It is probably a river gravel pebble from the local area rather than imported. The main colour is a rich brown, and the narrowed point is grey. There is a small area of cortex remaining. The use is uncertain.

Record ID: LVPL-C00254
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small piece of flint of uncertain date. It is oval in plan and triangular in cross-section. The fragment has been water worn resulting in a gloss covering. This gloss makes the typical features of a struck flint very difficult to identify. The flint is a natural shape which occurs with broken fragments of flint, and it is not likely that it was decisively struck. The longest edge has been chipped. This may be due to ware while in the water or ice, however the fragment may also have been picked up and used at some stage. It has a toffee-brown patina.

A flint implement dating to the late Neolithic period, (2500-2100BC). The implement is an arrowhead and is sub-triangular in plan. The object is thin and rectangular in cross-section. The point of the arrowhead has broken away. The dorsal face displays ridges and scars of earlier removals. The ventral face of the object appears smooth and a few ripple marks can be seen radiating from the left side of the implement. Evidence of retouching can be seen on both sides of the object. The object has a light grey patina which darkens to a mid-grey at the proximal end.

Flint knife dating from the late Neolithic into Early Bronze Age, C.3200-1800BC. It is oval in plan and sub-triangular in section. Ripples can be seen on both surfaces where it has been worked. The object has some of the characteristics of a type known as Plano-convex knife, though it is not absolutely typical of this type. Types like this are reasonably common in early Bronze Age barrow burials though many have been found unassociated with archaeological features/structures. It has a mid-white mottled patina.

Small piece of grey flint. It is sub-triangular in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The longest edge has been retouched on both sides. Ripples are visible, and get smaller towards the retouched side. It is probably a local flint and could be an atypical chisel, arrowhead or possibly a knife. It appears to be late Neolithic in date.

Small flint blade dating to the Mesolithic or the early Neolithic period. It is sub-oval in plan. One edge has a fine saw-like edge. This could be something that has happened in the soil since it was discarded in prehistory. However it is also possible to find this kind of thing in the early Neolithic due to working or human use. It has a yellowish-white patina.

Small flint implement. It is sub-circular in plan and sub-oval in section. The flint is a thumb nail scraper, probably a local pebble flint. Flints like these are found on Mesolithic sites however this one is most probably early Bronze Age. It has a dark brown patina and some of the cortex remains.
