Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large later Neolithic oblique arrowhead, 56.7mm in length, made from a struck tertiary flake of dark brown flint. The arrowhead is triangular with a long point and a single barb at the rear on one side which has a concave rear edge. There is an incomplete tang at the centre of the rear end. The long side with the barb has bifacial intrusive low angle scaled retouch all along it. The opposing long side feathers to a convex edge and is unworked.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic flint point, probably an arrowhead of oblique type, 44.1mm in length and made from a struck tertiary flake of dark brown flint. The arrowhead is triangular with a long point which has been refined by fine abrupt retouch along one side of the tip and bifacially worked low angle and semi abrupt scaled retouch along the rest of the length of the blade. The rear end is slightly convex with a small patch of low angle scaled retouch, perhaps to blunt it for hafting.

An incomplete later Neolithic flint arrowhead, probably of oblique type. The arrowhead is triangular with one small barb and concave rear edge. The opposing corner of the rear has broken away, but probably had a longer second barb, although no trace now remains. The edges are bifacially worked with low angle scaled retouch. A patch of cortex remains on the dorsal surface.

County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead struck from a pale brown flint. The arrowhead is broadly "kite" shaped (cf. Butler (2005), p 123, Type 2) and bifacially worked, with both faces having patches of long, low-angle intrusive and covering pressure-flaked retouch to refine the distal point and reduce the bulbar scar at the proximal end. The cross section is lenticular.

A flint arrowhead of later Neolithic oblique type struck from a tertiary flake of brown flint, 34.4mm in length. The cross section is asymmetrical and triangular with a flat and a convex face. One long edge has retouch along what appears to be the line of a break to refine a blunted edge running to the sharp point. The base has long low angle sub parallel retouch and is slightly hollowed.

A tertiary struck flake of orange brown flint, possibly a late Neolithic flint tranchet / chisel arrowhead, 40.1mm in length. The object has a triangular plan with the bulb of percussion on one long side; this has been intentionally reduced with scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The broad end / cutting edge of the flake feathers from a tranchet removal but is not further retouched.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A grey flint end scraper of possible Neolithic date. The scraper is circular in plan and  ovate in section and has been re-worked with a soft-hammer touch around one long edge. The ventral side has a pronounced bulb of percussion and rippling suggesting hard hammer working, and the dorsal side has been worked all around its edge, also with prominent ripples present.

Object type: SADDLE QUERN
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fine-grained Limestone saddle quern. A neat sub-rectangular block of stepped wedge-shaped profile, worn on its upper surface with a flat base which is indented only at its thicker end. The form is Neolithic, and a saddle quern would be used with a separate cobble grinding stone to grind corn to a coarse flour, and hence marks the advent of arable farming in the area whence it was reported. The small size and flat base – the latter perhaps suggesting use on a flat surface or even a table, which would be a remarkable feature to postulate in a Neolithic settlement – are perhap…

County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Secondary soft hammer struck blade, of sub-trapezoidal cross section, struck from a single platform core, of unpatinated mid-grey flint, grading to black towards the distal end, this itself if broken transversely and carries a small patch of thin cortex to the dorsal face. Both lateral edges are finely and slightly irregularly damaged, it is difficult to say if this is recent or ancient. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.
