Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint thumbnail scraper of late Neolithic- early Bronze Age date (3500-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The proximal edge has been short, parallel flaking and fine semi-abrupt retouch. All other edges have long parallel flaking with fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is convex due to a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is light grey with dark grey an…

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC - c.1150 BC). The arrowhead is bifacially worked and sub-triangular in plan and the edges of the arrowhead are serrated. There is central tang with a barb at either side present. The tang is complete and extends beyond the limit of the barbs, of which only one is complete. The complete barb has a pointed terminal whereas the broken barb is rounded. It weighs 3.0g and measures 39.20mm in length, 21.84mm in width and 5.14mm in thickness. See Clive Waddington, 2004. The Joy of Flint: An i…

Record ID: DUR-52BAF7
Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Published
A possible fragment of a Neolithic polished flint axe. One side of the axe is raised and polished, whilst the other side is flat with concoidal lines, which is the indication that it is part of an axe. The object is sub rectangular and the edges are rough and irregular. The flint is grey in colour with some brown areas around the perimeter. It weighs 4.6g and measures 36.30mm in length, 19.94mm in with and 5.31mm in thickness.

County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A collection of blade like flint flakes that are Mesolithic in date. There are 9 flakes in total: 6 are grey, and there is 1 mottled black/brown, 1 grey/green and 1 orange/brown. This is the kind of flake that could have been knapped to produce microlith blades, hence the Mesolithic date.

Four blade-like flint chips possibly dating from the Mesolithic period, c. 8300- 3500 BC. They are of varying sizes and colors, including grey with white specks and dark brown with white specks. They could be classed as microliths, which would place them in the Mesolithic period.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Five flint flakes of various sizes and colours, including grey with white specks, pink and brown with white specks. A couple of the flakes have remnants of brown cortex remaining. These are just general flakes from knapping and as such cannot be closely dated, so a broad Mesolithic- Bronze Age date has been assigned to them.

Flint scraper probably dating from the Neolithic period. It is semi-circular in plan with the thinnest edge being the round edge, and the straigh edge being thick. All along the rounded edge there is evidence of retouch- to make theedge sharp to act as a scraper. It is brown in colour with some white specks.

A spalled and burnt flint flake. The flake is an off-white colour. It is sub-rectangular in plan and has a ridge running down the middle of one side while the reverse is flat. The upper end (when viewd on the photograph) is narrower than the base. It is an undiagnostic flake and so cannot be assigned to a specific period.

Three lithic flakes with evidence of burning and spalling (cracking on the surface due to the heat). They are grey, light brown and brown in colour (from left to right on the photo). The flake on the left was probably started as a barbed and tanged arrowhead but broke before completion.
