Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core of probable Neolithic date 4000 BC - 2200 BC. It is a patinated tertiary chunk which is piriform in plan and D shaped in cross-section. It is an irregular core with two striking platforms at right angles to each other. One is at the pointed distal end. The other is the flat ventral face from which the removals forming the rounded proximal end have been worked. The core produced flakes. There is later damage on the ventral face where accidental removals have revealed an iron rich orange colour under the patinated white surface. The core is 58.3mm long, 47.4mm wide…

Object type: SPEARHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint projectile point, spearhead, laurel leaf or perhaps a knife, probably of Neolithic date 4000 - 2200 BC. It is D shaped in plan, with cortex on the left side, and invasive bifacial working. The dorsal face is concave with invasive, parallel, low angle retouch round the curved right side. The ventral face is less finely worked. The unworked left edge could have been utilised as a backed blade, but the tool is more likely to be a Neolithic knife or point. The object is 77.2mm long, 40.2mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 32.82g.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and damaged polished stone axehead of Neolithic date, 4000 - 2200 BC. The axe has a narrow btt with is trunctaed by a break. The sides are straight and flaring to the convex cutting edge, making the axe broadly triangular in plan. It is an irregular pointed oval in cross-section, and more lozenge shaped in cross-section at the break. The surface of the axe is flaked but many of these removals are probably later damage, as there are small areas of the polished surface surviving at the cutting end on both faces. The axe may only have been polished at the cutting end. The st…
