County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Mesolithic to middle Neolithic dark caramel to grey flint scraper or sub triangular arrowhead, with extensive working, fabricated from a secondary flake. The fact that a ripple that provides lateral grip has been left in place suggests that it was used as a scraper. However, it may be a poorly executed ogival leaf shaped arrowhead. Dates from c7000 to c2701 BC. Length 20mm, width 17mm, thickness 3mm, weight 1.1g.

Middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age discoidal flint knife, patinated white, fabricated from a tertiary flake. There is extensive retouch all round the circumference of the knife. It is short, acute to semi-abrupt, and mostly sub-parallel. The retouch has been done in various phases and there is some variation in patination suggesting reuse at a later date, probably some time in the Bronze Age. Dates to between c3500 and c1601 BC. Length 39mm, width 30mm, thickness 8mm, weight 11.2g.

Early Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint end scraper and knife. It has been fashioned on a mid grey flint secondary flake. There is short to semi-invasive, sub parallel, acute retouch to one median edge, producing an effective knife. Its use would have been aided by the cortex being retained on the majority of the other median, allowing pressure to be applied when cutting without the risk of injury. The distal end has been retouched (short, semi-abrupt, sub parallel) into an end scraper that has been retouched more than once. There is a retained fossil at the proximal end. Dates to b…

Object type: AXEHEAD ROUGHOUT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A hand axe roughout made from stone - possibly chert. The object appears to have been knapped from a large flake, showing a bulb of percussion on one face and has secondary flaking around all edges to create a cutting edge. It is unclear whether this represents a finished tool or an unfinished roughout. The colour of the roughout is also similar to volcanic tuff which makes for the possibility that it came originally from Langdale which is typically similar to a number of axes in the collection of Kendal Museum and Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery, Carlisle, which have been petrog…

Object type: DISC
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Crudely knapped stone 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 they show few signs of burning or sooting or any effects of heat, and pot sherds would make better lids. However they all show a degree of wear. Anthony Pilling has posited a possible use, related to hand looms, as a weighted core for winding balls of yarn around them as part of a crude creel for making a warp. See notes below. Diameter 52 to 60mm, thickness 15mm. There are images of other ston…

Mid Mesolithic to early Neolithic worked flint tool, fabricated from secondary flake, probably an end scraper. The flint is a dark honey colour with a white patination on the dorsal face & retaining some cortex on the dorsal ridge. This indicates that the tool was struck from an old core.

Mesolithic worked honey/brown flint blade, with distal burin, from a secondary core flake. There has been a somewhat scrappy reduction to the height of the dorsal ridge. The cortex that remains on the dorsal indicates that the original nodule was awkwardly formed and this may account for the untidy working. Dates to between c10000 and c4000 BC. Length 28mm, width 10mm, thickness 6mm, weight 1.5g.

Mesolithic flint end scraper. Fabricated from a secondary flake, it has a patinated white exterior with mid grey core. It has been knapped to produce an end scraper and side scraper and/or knife, both with worn retouches. The dorsal has a percentage of retained cortex that would aid with grip and applying pressure when utilising the tool as a knife. Dates from c10000 to c4001 BC.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to late Bronze Age D shaped flint scraper manufactured on previously worked flint. Struck from a tertiary flake, it has a patinated white exterior with mid grey core. The flint was probably originally upper Paleolithic to early Mesolithic debitage or a broken tool, subsequently reworked, probably during the Bronze Age, but possibly in the late Neolithic. At least two phases of retouching are evident so it may well have been reused twice. Final use as a tool dates to between c2700 and c1600 BC. Length is 41mm, width 48mm, depth 12mm, and the weight 29.4g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mid to late Mesolithic black chert fine drill or borer. The chert is a high quality with many dark gray rod like fossil inclusions. The tool is sub triangular in section. There are removals to the entire surface, except the proximal end wich retains cortex. The drill or borer was probably originally mounted in the end of a piece of wood or antler. The working end is quite worn. It shows evidence of at least one small break. The fracture has been retouched to allow the tools continued use. Dating to between c7000 and c4001 BC. The length is 13mm, width 5mm, and the thickness 4.5mm.

The tool is sub triangular in section. There are removals to the entire surface, with multiple retouches at both ends. The implement was probably originally mounted in the end of a stick or piece of antler. The working end is quite worn. It shows evidence of at least one small break.

Mid to late Mesolithic microlith drill or borer. The white stone is hard to identify and is probably a white flint or quartz. The tool is triangular in section. Heavily abraded but the very fine retouches at the proximal end are still visible. Probably a fine drill or borer originally mounted on the end of a stick or piece of antler.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Mesolithic to early Bronze Age worked white quartz or quartzite scraper. Its overall plan is D shaped, with the straight edge being the working edge. Due to the nature of it crystal structure, this material is hard to date from its working. As it bears a similarity to a D shaped scraper, it would be reasonable to assume that its most likely date of manufacture was late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. Dating to between c7000 to c1601 BC, probably to between c2700 and c1601 BC. The length is 10mm, width 10mm, and the thickness 5mm.
