Object type: TRANSVERSE ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint transverse arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic period (3300 BC - 2200 BC). The arrowhead is formed on a flake of mottled grey flint. It is sub-triangular in plan and a thin pointed oval in section. The striking platform occupies one side, the original edge of the flake is the long transverse cutting edge and the final side is retouched with short sub-parallel abrutp removals. A speckled patina has started to form. A notch in the cutting edge interrupts this, suggesting it is later damage. The arrowhead is 22.4mm long, 15.2mm wide and 3mm thick. 0.85g.

Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper. This flint is a short and broad tool, following the late Neolithic transition from altering blades, to using more chunky pieces of flint with abrupt retouch. The retouch is on the sides and distal edges. It has a grey patina with some brown inclusion. It measures 15.5mm x 15.5mm x 6.7mm, weighing 1.93g. This flint is late Neolithic or Bronze Age in date. For an example see Chris Butler's 'Prehistoric flintwork', fig. 70.1,2.
