An incomplete struck / knapped blade, formed from a tertiary debitage flake, of probable Neolithic dating (c. 4,000 BC to c. 2, 350 BC). The probable blade has a sub triangular cross section, and is sub triangular in shape. Retouch is present along the long edges and the short side (short, subparallel, abrupt). The probable blade has been made from a piece of tertiary debitage, probably the remains of a core for making blade. The flake has been made from a dark grey flint, with little surface patination.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An incomplete flint probable arrowhead of Neolithic-Bronze Age dating (AD 3450-1200 BC). The artefact broadly resembles a Leaf-shaped arrowhead. It is lentoid in plan and bi-convex in section. Both the dorsal and ventral surfaces have covering scaled flaking and all edges, with the exception of the proximal, have fine low angled retouch. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted, forming a notched aspect at its base. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is grey in colour.

A complete flint dagger or knife of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age dating (2, 700 BC to 1,600 BC). The flint dagger or knife is a core tool, it has been formed on a large blade like knife from a prepared core. The flint matrix is mid grey with significant white inclusions and grey/black veining. The flint has been chosen to create this piece because of this. Likewise the inclusions will make the piece more difficult to knap. It was made from a prepared blade with lentoid section.

The flake has been made from a light brown flint, with little surface patination. Length: 29.6 mm Width: 34.6 mm Thickness: 8.6 mm Ratio: 1.1:1 Weight: 10.6 g

A complete struck / knapped tertiary debitage flake, of probable Neolithic dating (c. 4,000 BC to c. 2, 350 BC). The debitage flake has a trapezoidal cross section, and is sub square in shape. Minimal retouch is present along one of the long edges (short, subparallel, low angle). Conchoidal ripples are present on the ventral face. The flake has been made from a light brown flint, with little surface patination. Length: 29.0 mm Width: 33.6 mm Thickness: 4.7 mm Ratio: 0.9:1 Weight: 5.2 g

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete knapped / worked flint scraper, of Late Neolithic dating (2900 BC to 2000 BC). The scraper is broadly semi circular and rectangular in cross section being formed from a tertiary flake; possibly debitage. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a series of irregular flake scars suggesting that this piece has been removed from a larger flake and been subsequently reused. Part of the bulb of percussion is present on the ventral surface. The striking platform is missing. The edges of the dorsal face have all be retouched with indirect percussion, all the flakes relat…

A complete knapped / worked flint scraper, of Late Neolithic dating (2900 BC to 2000 BC). The scraper is broadly semi circular in plan and rectangular in cross section being formed from a tertiary flake; possibly debitage. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a series of irregular flake scars suggesting that this piece has been removed from a larger flake and been subsequently reused. The striking platform and the bulb of percussion are no longer present on the lower / ventral face, having been removed by a hinge fracture. The edges of the dorsal face have all be retouch…

Object type: LEAF ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An incomplete knapped or flaked flint leaf shaped arrowhead, of Neolithic dating (c. 3500 BC to c. 2500 BC). The arrowhead is approximately 90% complete, missing the pointed tip. The arrowhead is leaf shaped in plan, and would have consisted of a pointed oval shape with a semi circular base. It has been made from a piece of tertiary debitage as no cortex (outer rind) is present on either the dorsal (upper) or ventral (lower) faces. Both faces exhibit a large amount of controlled flaking, with retouch present along the edges. It measures 29.9 mm in length, 18.9 mm wide and 3.3 mm

Object type: ARM GUARD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An incomplete polished worked stone, possible unfinished arm guard or bracer, of possible Neolithic dating (c. 4000 BC to c. 2350 BC). The possible arm guard is sub rectangular in shape, with tapered sides and a plano-convex section (one side flat, the other domed). The domed side bears traces of being bevelled, to create the domed shape. Both surfaces have been highly polished. It measures 77.8 mm in length, 28.2 mm wide and 6.7 mm thick. It weighs 25.6 g. The possible arm guard is mid grey colour, and has been made from a very fine grained schist or siltstone. Identifica…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A complete knapped / flaked secondary debitage flake, of Neolithic dating (3100 BC to 1600 BC). The flake is sub rectangular in plan, and is lentoid in section. Less than 50% of the dorsal (upper) face is covered with cortex (outer rind), indicating it is a secondary debitage flake. The dorsal (upper) face exhibits a series of ridges, and small controlled flint scars along the edges, indicating retouch. The ventral (lower) face exhibits a bulb of percussion, conchoidal ripples and a probable striking platform as evidence of working. The flake measures 29.13 mm in length, 26.97 mm
