Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper of probable Neolithic date, 4000 - 2350 BC. The scraper is formed from a secondary flake, sub-ovate in plan and roughly concave in section. The flake is mottled grey in colour. There is a large amount of cortex remaining on the dorsal face with a few small flakes removed. There is extensive semi-abrupt, sub-parallel, invasive retouch to the right mesal. On the ventral face there is a low bulb of percussion made from a soft hammer blow. At the distil end the flake is pierced by a small hole, approximately 4mm by 3mm. This piercing is probably natural resulting from a small fo…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of probable Bronze Age date, circa 2700-1600 BC. The flint is a secondary flint with a very small amount of cortex remaining at the distil end. The flake is sub-ovate in plan and plano-concave in section. There is scale flaking and semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch to the left mesal. The flake is pale grey in colour with pale inclusions. A flake has been removed from the ventral face, which makes the flint easy to handle by the thumb. There is a large striking platform at the proximal end.

County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked flint axehead of Neolithic date (c. 3500 - c. 2100 BC). The implement has been extensively knapped into a sub-oval cross section, with a tapering plan. It consists of a large terminal with a cutting face. The opposing terminal is broadly round with some cortex remaining on a prominent nodule, possibly indicative of an unfinished implement. The tool exhibits an asymmetric cross section, where one side of the central chord is flatter than the other. The edges have retouch in places. The flint is a mixture of greys, ranging from lighter to darker. All faces exhibit some orange i…

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A crude blade fashioned from a core. The flint is dark grey, with some blue/grey patination. From a single striking platform two blade scars extend, with a third just to the side; the central scar ends in an abrupt break where the cortex has stopped the removal, possibly the outcome that inspired the removal of the blade; however, the thick scar along one edge makes it very comfortable to hold, with a still-sharp cutting surface opposite. The reverse side shows a clear bulb of percussion and has exposed an area of weakness in the flint at the bottom of the removal. It measures 60mm…

A complete knapped lithic scraper implement of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (c. 2500 - 700 BC). Description: The implement is a scraper, designed to be held between the thumb and forefinger, formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in plan and section with a blunt end abrupt. The ventral surface is smooth with bulbar scar. There is some concretion adhering to the ventral surface possibly because this tool has been in an underground waterway. The dorsal surface displays vertical parallel scars and conchoidal ripple marks. Again there is concretion and possible breakdown of t…

An incomplete and plough rolled leaf-shaped arrowhead of probable Neolithic date (2900 - 2150 BC). The arrowhead is formed on a darker coarse brown coloured tertiary flint flake; both the dorsal and ventral faces are retouched.

Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete and unpolished Neolithic, (c.4000-2400BC) flint axehead, having bifacially convex sides one more pronounced than the other. Its cutting edges are sharp and undamaged. On the surface of one side, there are three small cavity's measuring 5.1 mm x 2.3 mm, 2.3 mm x 2.0 mm and 1.9 mm x 1.8 mm, probably caused by fossil inclusions.

Early Mesolithic to Neolithic flint blade. The blade is sub triangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section. A small part of the cortex remains on the dorsal face, close to the distal end. This is indicative of secondary phase working on the core. A central tapering negative scar is flanked either side by a further negative scar. Damage to the blade is revealed by unpatinated nicks to the sides and slight damage to the distal end. Short, scaled, low angle retouch is present along the longitudinal sides and snapped proximal end of the blade on the dorsal face. Very faint conchoidal…
