Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic implement; a flint barbed and tanged arrowhead probably dating from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age (2500 BC - 1500 BC). It has invasive working with scalar retouch and has a squared tang and rounded barbs. According to Butler (in Prehistoric Flintwork, page 164) it can be classed as a Sutton type arrowhead, one of the non-fancy barbed and tanged types. It weighs about 2g. The object was found in the same place as SWYOR-95AB74 which has been identified as a 19th or 20th century object. Flint knappers of this period such as Edward Simpson and Bill Basham were ver…

It is 21.7mm long, 18.5mm wide and 3.8mm thick. It weighs 1.13gm. It has been repaired with glue at some point. For reference see Butler 2005. Prehistoric Flintwork p. 163.

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A barbed and tanged arrow head dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age period, c.2500BC - 1500BC. The flint is mottled white/grey in colour and is hardly patinated. The ends of the barbs have snapped off and are missing, making it difficult to assign to a type. The tang is triangular. It has a length of 25.67mm, width 17.66mm, thickness 3.55mm, weight 1.18g. The arrowhead was manufactured using pressure flaking invasive retouch which covers both faces. This suggests that the arrowhead was well made and may have been a fancy type. For reference see Butler 2005. Prehistoric F…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic ground and polished stone axe. The axe is 79.44mm long, 85.31mm wide and 24.96mm thick. It has faceted sides which have been deliberately shaped and polished. There is a central notch in the butt. This may be intentionally shaped to aid hafting. There is evidence of use on the cutting edge, with some damage and some use wear. There are also post depositional scratches and some chips. No close parallel has been found because the axe is squatter than most examples. It weighs 378g. The stone is very fine grained and is purple brown in colour.
