A bi-polar core from Boulder Clay deposited in the last Ice Age, probably worked on an anvil, as indicated by the deep negative scar on the other side and the damage at each end of the piece.

A primary flake of flint with at least 45% of dorsal surface covered in cortex. Distinctive ripples run across the ventral.There appears to be no reuse or reworking of the flake. The material itself is semi transparent, with a ruddy-brown tinge that deepens as the thickness increases.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two pieces, probably from the same small blue flint nodule. One a small flake waste removed from the lower part of the nodule with some cortex (piece 1), and another small flake with more cortex remaining on the back but with evidence of fine edge damage and smoothing on the flint interior edge probably from use (piece 2).
Piece 1: 12mm in length, 12mm in width, 3.5mm thick, 0.55g
Piece 2: 18mm in length, 13mm in width, 5mm thick, 1.50g

Record ID: LVPL-77D1A1
Object type: FLAKE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint flake with broad striking platform and prominent bulb of percussion and bulbar scar, suggesting removal from a large flint nodule with a hard hammer such as a pebble. The flint is good quality and may most likely be of river gravel origin. The flake has been broken laterally and the irregular damage along the upper left hand side may be natural post-depositional damage rather than through use, although the latter is not impossible particularly if the lateral break to the flake was deliberate, although there is no way of knowing whether this was the case.
This is dis…

County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic implement of prehistoric date. The object is triangular in plan and is a light creamy brown colour.
Ron Cowell, Curator of Prehistoric Archaeology, Museum of Liverpool notes: Triangular piece of miscellaneous-type flint I haven't seen much of in the region. There is some possible working around the thinner butt end, with a vertical break on the reverse side removing where the bulb of percussion may have been. There are some longitudinal fine scars along the right hand side, although difficult to tell whether these were put on before the piece was removed from the nodule or…

County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large flint core of early Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. The core is cylindrical with one platform and parallel striking of narrow blades. One face of the object has narrower scars from blade removal while on the opposite face wider blades have been removed down the length of the core with shorter narrower blades removed from above (towards the striking platform) at a diagonal angle to the lower removals. The removed flints appear to have been blades. There is no visible sign of platform dressing.
A strip of light cream cortex remains along the length of one side of the core…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Bury
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A polished stone adze of prehistoric date, probably Neolithic, formed from a light sandy-brown coloured stone. The stone is very soft and has been polished smooth on each face. It is possibly formed from a sandstone variant.
The adze is sub-triangular in plan with a wide cutting edge tapering to a narrow rounded butt end and a sub-square cross-section. The object has a thick convex cutting edge measuring 10mm thick which is rounded and worn. One edge of the cutting edge has been damaged probably in recent times.

Object type: RETOUCHED FLAKE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint coarse retouched flake probably dating to the later Bronze Age. The object is triangular in cross-section with the remains of cortex on one side of the dorsal face. At the proximal end is a large triangular striking platform while a small (possibly accidental) triangular platform is at the distal end. Along the long edge the retouch is short, sub-parallel and at a low angle. A small amount of retouch is also on the opposite edge where the cortex has been removed. It is also short, sub-parallel and low angled. The flint has a dark grey cortex and a toffee brown to light cream m…

Mesolithic to Bronze age date (9000-1000BC) tertiary flake, most likely to be towards the later end of this date range (Ron Cowell pers comm). The dorsal surface is slightly convex. The ventral surface has a clear bulb of percussion and a small striking platform. Ripple marks (concordial fracture) is clearly visible on the ventral surface. The distal end shows signs of use around the edge but no obvious retouch (Ron Cowell pers comm).

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small flint flake, possibly a borer, with abrupt retouch along the mesial portion of the right edge with relatively long scars. The flint increases in thickness on this side toward the proximal end, where there is evidence of a fracture/breakage. There is also semi-abrupt short retouch along the opposite edge on both faces, perpendicular to that of the other side and meeting in a point. From the ventral face, the point at the distal end is broken, with the top missing, and retouch on the left side is more abrupt with some extremely fine retouch present near to the promixal end.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic or Bronze Age sub circular patinated white and caramel flint 'pot lid' modified to perform as a scraper. It has a number of small, occasional, short, abrupt removals, and a few larger invasive removals. The latter may be a result of plough action, or possibly evidence of reuse. Probably Neolithic or Bronze Age (c4000 to c800 BC) but impossible to date accurately.
The length is 31mm, the width is 18mm, the thickness is 4mm, and the weight is 1.5g.
Modified natural 'pot lids' would have made an expedient 'quick fix' tool in an emergency and may indicate the presence o…

A flint flake of prehistoric date. The flint is a pointed oval in plan and wedge shaped in cross-section. The flint is water-worn with a mottled light to toffee brown patina. Notches along the thin edge may be worked however the edge is damaged and it is therefore difficult to be certain. The thin long edge measures 1.5mm thick with the flint expanding in thickness to the other size at 9mm.
Dimensions: 50mm in length, 20mm in with, 9mm thick, 7.8g.
