Cast lentoid-to-lozenge-shaped-section fragment from a very slightly tapered blade; this might as easily be from a robust dagger as a spearhead [which was the finder's initial suggestion]. Fiercely abraded. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC Length: 29.3mm, Width: 14.6mm, Thickness: 5.3mm, Weight: 10.04gms

Opaque grey flint with cortex, scraper. A sub-rhomboid chunk with an undulating ventral surface from which at least one and probably several large flakes have been struck, and with invasive angled scalar retouch across a limited central part of its dorsal surface. A convex long edge bears the scars from battering; it is possible that the dorsal retouch permitted a firm grip when using this putative working edge. The finder kindly notes that, as the Isle of Axholme is an area away from chalky subsoils, any flint found in the vicinity must have been imported. Suggested date: Early Bronze…

Dark grey flint possibly collected from the East Coast, possible point. A thick dentiform chunk bears a concave scar on its dorsal side, and ripples arising from the same impact on its ventral surface. A powdery ?marine-deposited patina? was removed by this draft, and also by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect which follows a sub-triangular projecting point. The appearance of retouch along a long edge may be misleading, as most of the scars appear to result from edge-on impacts. The fresh condition of the flint is also much as would be found today on East Coast beache…

Brown flint with cortex, and with a spot of re-formed cortex, debitage. A small thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a platform at one end of its bulbar ventral surface – where cortex had re-formed. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge, suggesting a short period of probably improvised use, perhaps of an older flake. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 Length: 27.2mm, Width: 24.5mm, Thickness: 8.9mm, Weight: 5.56gms

Object type: BARBED AND TANGED ARROWHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey-buff semi-translucent flint, barbed and tanged arrowhead. A small triangular point with basal hollows between its tang and the flanking barbs [one lost]. Covering angled scalar retouch occurs across both sides. The form was well-adapted for hunting, being liable to promote both tissue damage and blood loss on a quarry which might then be trailed by hounds.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Opaque pale grey flint scraper. A large flake with broad and narrower flakes removed by unidirectional working and with a working edge formed by a very few angled drafts, with a bulb and platform at the narrower butt end of the ventral surface. The narrow end was subsequently battered. A V-shaped notch in one side, occasioned by an angled impact delivered from the ventral aspect, is probably recent adventitious damage. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 46.5mm, Width: 36.5mm, Thickness: 10.3mm, Weight: 17.35gms.
