Pale grey-buff flint scraper. Thumbnail scraper, with two broad flakes struck from the dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface; the bulb has perhaps been trimmed by drafts delivered from the ventral aspect. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 27mm, Width: 22.2mm, Thickness: 7.2mm, Weight: 5.34gms

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint possibly collected from the East Coast [as inferred from relict marine ‘patina’ on the dorsal side] scraper. The ventral surface is rippled with a positive hinge fracture at that end. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curve of either end, and may be masked by subsequent battering along one side. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: 23.7mm, Width: 20.2mm, Thickness: 9.7mm, Weight: 4.89gms

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey-brown flint with cortex, debitage. An irregular flake from the outer surface of a nodule with a bulbar ventral surface. Possibly formed by frost action in ‘pot lid’ form, but very roughly trimmed with a hard hammer and bearing at least two drafts of angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. Probably an ephemeral tool knocked out for a single passing use. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC. Length: 37.6mm, Width: 37.7mm, Thickness: 7.3mm, Weight: 11.65gms

Object type: FABRICATOR
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with off-white patch near its tip, probable fabricator fragment. A thick pointed flake of plano-convex section with large flakes initially trimmed from its dorsal side and a flat ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect is carried over most of the surface; this was perhaps interrupted by removal of a further flake from the butt end of the tool. Though this need not have interfered with its function, it does not bear wear suggesting it to be the result of a deliberate modification. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC Length: …

Pale grey flint scraper. A small thumbnail scraper with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving edge opposite a flat butt, perhaps where the flake broke in antiquity. A dense creamy patina suggests a subsequent period of exposure to a calcareous environment.

Pale cream coloured opaque flint scraper. A small thick flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and with a striking platform at one end of a bulbar ventral surface.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Pale grey flint barbed and tanged arrowhead. A small triangular arrowhead bearing covering angled scalar retouch overall, with two tapered barbs [one chipped] between a tapered tang. A lentoid longitudinal profile marks a very efficient weapon tip combining its penetrative power and barbs with light weight.

Pale grey flint possible scraper. A thin flake with opposed concave edges with fine serrations that are more readily felt than observed, and a third concave side, all probably worn by passing use as a possibly improvised ‘shaft straightener’ or hollow scraper.

Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Dark grey flint with cortex, possible scraper. A small chunk with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side which has subsequently collected a dense creamy patina suggesting its prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. The ventral surface is fresh, suggesting a pebble which had already been patinated was reworked and this part was detached, leaving a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect may have removed some patina to form a thumbnail scraper, though the continuation of this loss of patina from round the edge could alternatively have arise…

Grey-brown flint with re-formed cortex possible hollow scraper. A thin irregular flake with a broad flake struck from the re-cortified dorsal surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect may have formed or finished a curved notch apt to the trimming of a shaft. Iron spotting suggests the flint had been incorporated into gravels, perhaps before it was worked as here described.

Copper alloy possible dirk fragment, as kindly suggested by Ed Caswell, who comments: ' I wonder wether this is not closer to a rapier/dirk fragment due to the lozenge shaped cross section and quite straight sides?...'.. 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].
