Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete small flint scraper of probably the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age period, dating from c. BC 3000 - c. BC 1500. The scraper is broadly triangular in shape, with a roughly rectangular cross section. There is no cortex remaining on the surface. The dorsal (upper) surface exhibits controlled working, with minimal retouch (short, sub parallel, abrupt to semi abrupt) along the working edge, this appears to have been done to blunt the edge which suggests the flint was used as a scraper. There are two broad rectangular flake scars, one at the proximal end and one at the di…

Object type: GUNFLINT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped gun-flint with lead casing from a flintlock musket of the Post Medieval period, dating from c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1750. The flint is broadly square in plan and trapezoidal in section. The flint a mid grey in colour going darker towards the bottom. The flint comes to a sloped point at the top, there is some damage to the top of the tip, and to the sides. The object is enclosed on all four sides with a lead casing which comes about two thirds of the way up the object, the lead casing appears folded on the left side of the reverse. The reverse is flat. The object…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
Debitage, flint flake of the Neolithic to Early Bronze Age period, probably dating from c. 3500 - c. 1500 BC. The object is probably a primary or secondary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working. The object is semi circular in plan and triangular in section. The right side edge of the dorsal face is covered by the remaining cortex. The left edge of the dorsal face is sharp but shows no evidence of retouch on the surface. The dorsal face shows evidence of two removal scars, removed at varying angles, at the proximal end. The first is a triangular rem…

Debitage flake of the Mesolithic to Early Neolithic period, dating from c. 10,000 - c. 2351 BC. The object is probably a secondary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working, it is possible it is an unfinished awl or borer. The object is a broad reverse P shaped in plan and a shallow C shape in section. Around 30% of the dorsal face is covered by the remaining cortex. The dorsal face has three large removal scars, one at the distal end, one in the centre and one at the proximal end. All scars exhibit prominent conchoidal ripple marks. There are multiple…

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped lithic implement of the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period, probably dating from c. 2400 - c. 1600 BC. The object is probably a secondary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working, and was probably used as a scraper tool. The object is broadly pentagonal in plan and broadly D shaped in section. Around 95% of the remaining cortex covers the ventral face of the tool. There are two removal scars on the surface on the left side, the lower removal is broadly triangular in plan and the upper removal is broadly square with pronounced…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete knapped lithic implement of probably the Neolithic to Bronze Age period, dating from c.4000BC - c. 800BC. The object is probably a secondary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working. The object is broadly semi circular in plan and triangular in section. Around 30% of the cortex still remains on the left side of the dorsal face. The dorsal face shows evidence of striking from multiple platforms for the removal of small flakes or chips at varying angles. All scars exhibit evidence of conchoidal ripple marks in the surface, most of these are q…

Flint working debitage of probably the mid to late Bronze Age period, dating from c. 1600 - c. 800 BC. The object is probably an implement formed of a tertiary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working. The object is broadly rectangular in plan and a tapered D shape in section. The dorsal face has two broadly rectangular removal scars on the surface, the removal on the right side is narrower than the one on the left, and both exhibit conchoidal ripple marks radiating from the striking platform at the proximal end. There appears to be evidence of short …

Flint working debitage of the Mesolithic to Neolithic period, dating from c. 9,000BC-4000BC The flint is broadly rectangular in plan and is triangular in section. The flint has a single striking platform, with longitudinal blade removal scars running the length of the object, most prominant on the left. The right side shows signs of the removal of smaller flakes. Each scar has conchoidal (ripple) marks radiating from the distal end. There are some signs of retouch around the platform edge as platform preparation.The flake removal scars are not found all round the core, with the rea…

Object type: BORER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete, knapped flint borer of probably the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, dating from c. 4000 - c. 800 BC. The flint is broadly D-shaped in plan and and rectangular in cross-section. The bulb of percussion and bulbar scar is visible on the dorsal face at the proximal end of the flint. Several falkes have been removed from each face at varying angles, each shows evidence of a conchoidal fracture (ripple marks) on the surface. The ventral face shows evidence of conchoidal fractures as well. Around 20% of the cortex is still present on one side of the flint. The two top edges h…
