Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper struck from a dark brown flint, 49mm in length, probably of Neolithic date. The scraper is semi-circular and there is semi-abrupt parallel retouch, most noticeably on one side. The dorsal surface and proximal end retain patches of cortex with no evidence for a prepared striking platform. The surface demonstrates water polish.

A small oval bifacially worked flint knife of Neolithic date. Both sides have intrusive and covering long low angle retouch on the distal portion. The proximal end retains buff coloured cortex and is largely unrefined, suggesting the knife may have been hafted to a handle.

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead struck from a pale brown flint. The arrowhead is broadly "kite" shaped (cf. Butler (2005), p 123, Type 2) and bifacially worked, with both faces mostly covered by long, low-angle intrusive and covering pressure-flaked retouch. The cross section is lenticular. One end, probably the rear portion, has been lost.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A later prehistoric flint bladelet core of grey flint with a single striking platform from which a small number of small flakes and blades have been removed. The core appears to have been opportunitsically worked from a large fragment of a crudely or perhaps naturally broken flint nodule, with no evidence of platform preparation. Two patches of grey cortex remain.
