Object type: DISCOIDAL KNIFE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic (4000 - 2500 BC) discoidal knife: The knife sub-oval and is knapped from a mottled dark brown flint which is opaque where it is more slender in thickness. It has been bi-facially worked with invasive, scaled, low-angled flake removals. Over half of both the dorsal and ventral surfaces have been polished, particularly one lateral edge and the distal edge. The edges are rounded with the polishing. Knapping has removed the bulb of percussion. It measures 100.30mm long, 72.55mm wide, 13.93mm thick and weighs 115.64g. Discoidal knives in Worcestershire are very rare, this i…

Neolithic to early Bronze Age (c. 4000 to 1000BC) scraper: The scraper appears to be knapped from a secondary flake which has a long large patch of cortex along the lateral edge. The dorsal surface, along the opposite edge has multiple re-touch scars which are invasive and semi-abrupt. The ventral surface has a no obvious bulb of percussion. The scraper is knapped from flint which is a dark brown. The scraper, measures 35.15mm long, 20.11mm wide and 6.39mm thick. It weighs 4.62g. The scraper is probably a thumbnail scraper dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, c. 4000…

Object type: CORE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic to early Neolithic (8300 to 3500 BC) core: The core is sub-oval in section which has vertical cylindrical with a sub-oval section with vertical linear scars and other scars which are perpendicular to the others. There is a trace of a patch of patina which is the only part of the surface which has not been knapped at a later date. The core measures 30.59mm long, 24.35mm wide, is 15.09mm thick and weighs 12.38g. The core probably dates to the Mesolithic to early Neolithic period.

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early Neolithic (-4000 to -3500) lithic implement : Y-shaped tool. The tool is knapped from a dark coloured flint whose surface may just be starting to develop a patina. The dorsal surface has two vertical scars and a third scar which is perpendicular to the other scars. The ventral surface has one deep scar with slight ripples. There is no bulb of percussion and the proximal surface may have been removed. The distal end on the dorsal surface is concave produced by short, abrupt retouch. It is too wide to be a notch. The implement has been made from a thick flake. It weighs 18.9g a…

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic to Neolithic (-8300 to -2100) debitage: The knapped flint flake is probably either a core rejuvenation flake or sharpening flake. It is knapped from a mottled mid grey to light grey flint which has a waxy texture. One edge has re-touch on the dorsal surface which also has flake scars. The edges are otherwise unmodified. The ventral surface has a single scar, and recent damage. It weighs 7.25g and measures 35.94mm long, 28.09mm wide and 7.91mm thick. The flake probably dates to the Mesolithic to Neolithic period.
