County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint possible fabricator. A knapped flint implement with two broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a flat rippled ventral surface with a tiny striking platform at one end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows one long edge of a triangular-section object; other marks along the arises between faces are from fortuitous edge-on impacts. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600BC Length: 62mm, Width: 25.6mm, Thickness: 15.2mm, Weight: 24.18gms

Grey flint with cortex, possible scraper, as kindly suggested by the finder. An irregular flake perhaps naturally detached as a pot lid frost-fracture, but with the cortex or re-formed cortex trimmed by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect.

Opaque grey flint borer. A small thick rhomboid flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface. A projecting triangular point was completed by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect along one of its two convergent edges.

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.

Dark grey flint, possibly collected from the East Coast, scraper. A thick leaf-shaped flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface with a bulb at one end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trims sandy brown cortex to form a small crescentic hollow on one edge. The initial working and retouch both appear perfunctory.

Dark grey flint, possibly collected from the East coast, scraper fragment. A small thick flake with a bulbar ventral surface, possibly recently chipped. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trims a sandy brown patina from along a curving working edge, which has probably been truncated by breakage.

County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with a greenish-buff cast, possible debitage. Oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by hard hammer, and with a smooth and slightly concave ventral surface. The appearance of retouch is misleading, and arises from multiple edge-on impacts. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 61.2mm, Width: 38.9mm, Thickness: 11.2mm, Weight: 30.31gms

Pale grey flint with cortex, possible debitage. A thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave rippled ventral surface. The coastal find spot might suggest some damage represented by conchoidal scars on the dorsal side to have arisen naturally through rolling in surf. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.

County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy spearhead fragment. A small cast leaf-shaped socketed spearhead fragment with a pronounced rounded mid rib and of consequently quadrilateral section, broken just below the end of the narrow curving opposed cutting edges of its blade, probably in antiquity. The tip is also chipped, and this too may be ancient damage. The existing mouth of the socket is thicker on one side than the other, a weakness which may have promoted its breakage. The loss of the lower part of the socket leaves it uncertain whether this spearhead had side loops [a Middle Bronze Age form] or simply a h…

Dark grey-green flint with cortex spots; possible scraper. A thick chunk with broad flakes removed by hard hammer working towards one end, which has sustained light battering thereafter. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 46.5mm, Width: 30.3mm, Thickness: 19mm, Weight: 26.89gms

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint with cortex; possible core. A long chunk with large flakes removed from three of its four sides by hard hammer strike. The aris between adjacent faces is crisp, and only a small pot lid fracture and a larger conchoidal scar appear to post-date the putative evidence for working. This may argue the recent exposure of this object. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Height: 62.7mm, Width: 36.6mm, Thickness: 20.9mm, Weight: 55.86gms

Black flint possible scraper. A large thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by angled hard hammer strike, and with a bulbar ventral surface. A putative working edge [top] is battered. Conchoidal fractures and other edge damage may be naturally formed as these are common on unworked flints from the vicinity.

Opaque greenish-buff flint; scraper. A thumbnail scraper with a concave butt formed by a positive hinged fracture. Broad flakes have been struck from the dorsal side and the ventral surface is bulbar. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curved edge.

Brown toffee-coloured flint pebble with cortex, scraper. A small pebble with broad flakes trimmed from cortex on the dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curved edge of the pebble, leaving untrimmed cortex at the flat butt. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.

Black and grey flint with cortex, scraper. Thick flake with broad flakes trimmed from its dorsal side in two episodes, sufficiently removed in time from each other for recortification to have occurred before the secondary working, and with an angular broken or hackled ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect appears to have followed a long edge, though conchoidal scars along this edge appear to have been caused by impacts along to that edge rather than working.

Pale grey flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. Sub-triangular flake with covering angled scalar retouch across both sides. Short abrupt retouch executed from both dorsal and ventral aspects defines a short slightly pointed tang; there are no barbs nor sign of their loss though the edge is chipped.

Black flint with cortex, probably collected from the East Coast, scraper. Thick flake with cortex trimmed around its edges by hard hammer strike from one side, and with cortex or recortification on the other. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a gently concave edge, possibly qualifying this as a hollow scraper. Slightly invasive scalar retouch executed from the other side follows an adjacent straight edge, and may also trim the side opposite the hollowed one. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.

Object type: CHISEL
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy chisel. Cast rectangular section billet with one flat end and one bevelled end. The arises are uniformly crisp, as is the cutting edge, though this is chipped on one corner. The object is very slightly flared between butt and blade; the width at the former is 9mm, and 11.6mm at the latter. The thickness is greatest towards the butt. The good condition of the object may suggest its recent disturbance from a sealed context. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age, 1000-800 BC. Length: 68.2mm, Width: 11.6mm, Thickness: 8mm, Weight: 46.04gms.
