Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
Lithic implement from a translucent pale brown tertiary flake. (While it was recorded as an arrowhead Dr Kevin Leahy is cautious about this interpretation). The majority of working is on the dorsal face, suggesting this arrowhead was for use and not a status symbol. The artefact has been constructed in a rather odd way. The point is actually at the proximal end, while the arrows butt is at the distal end. This has created a problem with how to deal with the comparitevely large bulb of percussion. The rather crude solution has been to snap part of it off, followed by a short abrupt …

Object type: SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early to mid Neolithic serrated implement made from a tertiary flake of pale milky grey translucent flint with small white inclusions. One side and the distal end have been worked into a fine saw. The serration was created by micro flaking (short, parallel, cross abrupt) from the dorsal and ventral sides. The side opposite the serrated edge has a single long, and three much smaller, deliberate removals for 12mm (similar to YORYM-697977). The area between this removal and the proximal has been blunted with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch 4mm inward from the edge. The tip has a high…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Early Neolithic to early Bronze Age banded pale pink rhyolite blade with an end scraper and probable side scrapers. There has been attempt to reduce one of the ridges. One face is polished by wear, providing clues as to how it was initially used, ie as a side scraper. The mesal edges have occasional retouch, mostly short, parallel, low angled. The end scraper has been produced by short to medium, scaled & crossed abrubt to semi abrupt retouch. The striking platform has been removed with a single flake and the edges of the scar retouched (medium, sub parallel, low angle). The rhyolite …

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Late Mesolithic flint microlith made from a tertiary flake of pale grey near transparent flint. It is rectangular in plan. Both the proximal and distal end terminate where they have been snapped, leaving hinge fractures. Dorsal ridge runs parallel approximately 1mm from the edge, for the entire length of the microlith. The other mesal edge, 2mm from the ridge, has extremely fine short, parallel, abrupt retouch. Dating from c7000 to c4000 BC. The length is 5mm, width 3mm, thickness 0.5mm, and the weight is less than 0.1g.

Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age axe head roughout made from a tertiary flake of Langdale tuff. The roughout is thick-butted, double convex in section, sub-oval in plan, has crudely sub-rounded ends, and expands in plan from both the butt and the blade end to reach its maximum width 48mm from the blade end.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Tertiary flake of heavily patinated Langdale tuff, utilised as a chopping or scraping tool between the mid Neolithic to mid Bronze Age. The definite working is confined to the distal end. This consists of two groups of retouch. The first is invasive, scaled, and low angled. The second is short, sub- parallel, low angled, and may represent an attempt to sharpen the implement. It is difficult to account for the differences in patination on the artefact. The most likely explanation is that the older patina was gained in a different location and subsequently brought to the find spot. Date…

Secondary worked black chert, probably late Mesolithic to early Neolithic debitage or multi platform core or possibly an implement abandoned during manufacture. Ventral & dorsal are impossible to distinguish but on one side there are four near parallel removals from the better quality chert and on the other side further intersecting scars that suggest this may once have been part of a core. Cortex has been retained on around 30% of the surface. Dates to between c7000 and c3500 BC.

County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mid to late Bronze Age serrated implement, and possible knife/scraper, formed on a tertiary flake of pale honey flint with large cream inclusions. Serrated edges have been formed by short, semi-parallel, abrupt retouch to the distal/mesal edges and the oblique distal end edge. The height of the dorsal ridge has been reduced and the proximal end thinned by invasive, scaled, low-angled retouch. Dates from c1600 to c800 BC. The length is 41mm, width 17mm, thickness 8mm, and the weight is 4.60g.

Mesolithic to early Neolithic tertiary flake of off white translucent quartz.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC

Workflow stage: Published
Neolithic, patinated off white flint, leaf shaped arrow head, fashioned from a secondary flake off a beach pebble. It has been bifacially worked with removals to 80% of its surface. The centre of the ventral appears to retain a polished surface. This may be a fortuitous result of some form of flaking, but there are no sign of conchoidal rippling so this is unlikely to be the result of artificial flaking. There is a central retained patch of cortex on the dorsal side. Dorsal retouch invasive, sub-parallel, low angled; ventral retouch invasive, parallel, low angled. Dates from c3500 to …

Object type: DISC
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Bradford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Crudely knapped sandstone disc, of unknown use mid nineteenth century or earlier. Possibly associated with hand loom use. A number of uses have been posited for these objects. One is pot lids, but this example shows no signs of burning or sooting or any effects of heat, and pot sherds would make better lids. However it does show a degree of wear as none of the knapped angles are sharp. See notes attached to LANCUM-D53456 for a discussion of the possible uses of this. Diameter 67mm, Thickness 16mm, Weight 123g.

Chisel shaped arrowhead with tranchet sharpened end. Probably early Neolithic. Formed on a large flake of semi-translucent light brown flint with the bulb of percussion removed but with conchoidal ripples present. The ventral face is plain apart from some abrupt scalar retouch along the entire left edge. This retouch is also present on the dorsal face of the same edge.The other edge is missing having been snapped off. The blade end has been sharpened with two large tranchet flakes and there is some evidence of later chipping and very short, semi-abrupt, scalar retouch along the the bl…

Medium brown flint flake, with a lighter brown patina across most of its surface. Possibly Neolithic. It appears to have been made from a rough flake, with only the point remaining it would have been wider as there are signs of re-touching along both edges to where corners have snapped off. It has signs of removal across he entire dorsal surface to flatten it. Its shape indicates that it may have been an ogival arrow head. Length 23mm, Width 19mm, Thickness 4mm, Weight 2g.
