Record ID: SWYOR-4014A2
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side scraper dating probably dating from the Neolithic. The flint is irregularly shaped and is thick and triangular in section. The bulb of percussion is not evident. There is short abrupt retouch on the right side at the narrower end. The larger removal along that side is probably later damage. The retouch may have originally continued along the right edge. The flint is patinated. It is 28.88mm long, 13.16mm wide and 7.75mm thick. It weighs 2.11g.

Record ID: SWYOR-3FFB73
Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible Mesolithic flint core. The flake is a secondary flake from which small blade removals have been made. It is sub-circular in plan and D shaped in section. Cortex survives over the dorsal face and most of the removal scars are patinated. There are removals at the distal end and a few at the proximal end. At a later date, the flake has been heated, causing the patinated surfaces to crack and craze. It also appears to have suffered crushing damage; areas of the patina are missing and the surface is faceted. The core is 27.83mm long, 24.73mm wide and 11.77mm thick. It weighs 8.64g.

Record ID: SWYOR-3FC672
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Early Neolithic flint implement; a leaf shaped arrowhead. The arrowhead is kite shaped and is bifacially worked but only round the edges of both faces. The bulb of percussion is at the pointed end of the arrowhead; the other end is truncated by a snapped end, which may or may not be intentional. There is shallow invasive retouch on all edges. The flint has a white patina. It is similar to number 6 in figure 49 on page 124 of Prehistoric Flintwork (Butler, 2005). It is 22.22mm long, 14.84mm wide and 3.27mm thick. It weighs 0.82g.

Record ID: SWYOR-3EFB58
Object type: BLADE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint blade dating from the Neolithic or Mesolithic periods. It is sub-rectangular in plan. Its curved dorsal face shows that it is a primary or secondary flake. There are three removals at the distal end on the left side, but these may be edge damage rather than retouch. It is 38.33mm long, 14.92mm wide and 4.15mm thick. It weighs 3.67g. The flint has a white patina.

Record ID: SWYOR-3ED8F2
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Early Neolithic flint implement; a leaf shaped arrowhead. The arrowhead is kite shaped and is bifacially worked across the whole of both faces. Bifacial arrowheads were more difficult to make than other forms, and may have been for show rather than for use, though numerous isolated finds do suggest that they were also used. Compare number 5 in figure 49 on page 124 of Prehistoric Flintwork (Butler, 2005). The arrowhead is 32.43mm long, 18.67mm wide and 3.22mm thick. It weighs 1.63g. The flint has a white patina.
