The material used is local Wolds flint, appears to be an unfinished axe with some of the cortex still on the surface . Probably an impurity within the flint caused the artefact to break during manufacture.

Record ID: WMID-52AA34
Object type: WORKED OBJECT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A knapped flint of probable Neolithic date. The flint is sub-triangular in shape and resembles an arrowhead in shape. However, the flint has no invasive retouch and it retains the bulb of percussion and striking platform, a very unusual feature in Neolithic or Bronze Age arrowheads as the bulb of percussion is normally removed to facilitate hafting. The 'arrowhead' shape therefore seems likely to be coincidence rather than design. Very fine possible retouch resembling a saw blade may have been applied to both lateral edges, although it is possible that this has been caused during use …

A piece of chert, possibly worked. If it has been knapped from a core, it does not appear to have been retouched subsequently. The object does not have any of the clear hallmarks of human intervention - it does not have a clear bulb of percussion or striking platform. What appears at first to be retouch on the lateral edges may actually be natural damage and wear. The chert has a pale brown colour. Find not photographed.

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Heavy, round stone, possibly granite. While the underside is round and has a very rough surface, the top is very smooth and almost indented. It is very likely that the stone has been used as a whetstone for, possibly, arrowheads, smaller spearheads, knives, axe blades, etc. However, the date of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age has only been given tentatively - it may have been much younger than that. Since it was an unassociated find, it is difficult to attach a clear date to it.

Incomplete sandstone probable hone stone, measuring 88.99x(max)70.71x(max)27.89mm and weighing 212.10g. The widest edge is also the thinnest, the incomplete stone being wedge-shaped and triangular in cross-section. Both faces display shallow grooves. Neolithic to Victorian in date, perhaps Prehistoric or Medieval/ Post-Medieval, given that hones between these dates tend to be long and narrow.

A fishing or net weight made from a natural stone, probably dating to the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Although the perforation looks natural it was most certainly enlarged to utilitise it and furthermore, has grown in diameter over the centuries. The stone is a soft sandstone and the rope or net it was attached to made it bigger through constant friction. Although these objects are difficult to date if found out of context, T Padley (Keeper of Archaeology) of Tullie House in Carlisle confirms the here given date, stating that they have a number of these objects from Cumbria in…

Two fragments of flintworking debris dating from the Neolithic period through to the Bronze age. One piece is sub-triangular in plan. The flint is 22.63 mm in width, 16.70 mm in length and 6.46 mm thick. The flint weights 1.8g. One side of the object is jagged and irregular with no evidence of working. The other side is smother with ripples and small bulbar scars suggesting this fragment has been flaked off the core. The other flint fragment is 12.67 mm wide, 13.67 mm long and 8.12 mm thick. This fragment weights 1.7 g. The flat side of this fragment does not show evidence of kn…
