Object type: FIRE STONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
An assemblage of late neolithic to early medieval firestones. This is a small group of nine identified firestones is being recorded as a representative sample of a much larger group of firestones locally dispersed on a field associated with anglo scandinavian and late neolithic to early bronze age finds. The brown stones appear to be from the same large pebble. They are crumbly in texture , appear to be porous, break easily and have fracture lines on the remaining outer surface. They appear to have red to dark brown discolouration probably associated with fire damage. The largst piece…

Object type: LAUREL LEAF
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint laurel leaf dating to the early Neolithic period (c. 4000-2500 BC to 1200 BC). The object has been formed from a secondary flake of dark grey, semi-translucent flint. The remaining cortex is reddish-brown in colour. The tool is asymmetric, sub-lentoid in plan and roughly D-shaped in cross-section. The retouch across both faces is scaled and invasive becoming semi-abrupt to abrupt along cutting edges on opposing faces. The striking platform appears to be along the right hand edge of the ventral face with the ripples of percussion disappearing into the cortex. Acc…

A complete flint Arrowhead of Bronze Age date (2500-1200 BC). The object is a barbed and tanged form and is sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The object has two small semi-circular notches removed by pressure flaking, on the proximal edge. The notches create a sub-rectangular tapering tang, projecting between them. The object tapers to a tip at its distal end. The dorsal surface has short scaled flaking along the left and right hand edges. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with some shallow pressure flaking along the proximal edge. The lithic retains no corte…
