Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flint barb and tang arrowhead, similar to a Ballyclare B, formed on a tertiary flake now patinated white. Multiple flaking scars cover both the ventral and dorsal sides. The fully invasive primary working has been retouched to all edges. It is triangular in plan with slightly projecting barbs on the base either side of a 5mm wide rectangular tang that projects 4mm beyond the bottom of the tangs. The barbs are more or less pointed and the tang only slightly rounded. Probably dates to between c2500 and c1500 BC. Length 25mm, width 17mm.

Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint 'horseshoe' scraper. The scraper is circular with one straight edge in plan, and fabricated on a white patinated tertiary flake. The ccraper has been formed on the rounded distal end while the proximal end is the straight edge. There are three principle phases of working. In the first it has been roughed out with a series of invasive removals to the dorsal. The second phase consisted of shaping the distal edge with a series of long scaled semi abrupt removals. The final phase consists or short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch on the working edge. …

Late Mesolithic to Early Iron Age chert microlithic burin. It has been formed on a tertiary piece of black chert debitage. There is wear gloss on most of the chert. The burin has been formed at the distal point with the removals creating a point 2mm high. A small area of low angled, scaled, semi-invasive retouch to one of the distal shoulders has produced a notch that could also be utilised as a tool. There is a series of abrupt parallel removals at the proximal end,probably to make it easier to use, and to apply pressure in particular. Probably dates to between c7000 and c400 BC, pro…

Early to mid Neolithic side scraper on a secondary flake of dark grey chert. Short, parallel to sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch to both mesals. The distal end has been shaped with an invasive intial removal terminating in a hinged fracture. It has then had very short sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch. There has been a reduction to the dorsal ridge. Cortex retained at proximal end, probably to aid grip. Dates to between c4000 and c2700 BC. Length 24mm, width 15mm, thickness 7mm, mass 2.86g

Early to mid Neolithic side scraper on a tertiary flake of grey chert. On one mesal two notches have been removed from near the distal end then the whole ventral edge has received short, parallel to sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch The resultant edge probably served three purposes, as a serrated blade, a notched scraper, and as a side scraper if the proximal end was favoured. The other mesal is 7.5mm thick. On its dorsal edge it has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch to the whole edge. The ventral edge has a series of scaled semi-invasive removals overlaid with short, abrupt, sub-pa…

Object type: BURIN
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to Early Iron Age chert burin. It has been formed on a secondary piece of black 'Marles' chert, probably a worked out core. The retained limestone cortex on the proximal end exhibits quite a high degree of wear, and there is wear gloss on most of the chert. There is sub-parallel, semi-short, abrupt retouch to the shorter of the tool's mesals. This is probably to make the toll more ergonomic but would also have created a small but functional side scraper. The shoulder of this mesal has been reduced with a series of removals at its distal end. The longer mesal has short, …
