Overview

Lithics 31-38 front side
Lithics 31-38 front side

The relatively small but nevertheless valuable collection consists of 117 worked prehistoric flint lithics covering a range of mostly numbered typical tools from the Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age period, including arrowheads (chisel/tranchet, leaf-shaped, barbed-and-tanged, British oblique, kite-shaped, ripple-flaked), blades, gravers, microliths, scrapers and worked flakes.

Given that the entire area is now built on, rendering any further archaeology difficult if not impossible, this only adds to the value of the collection. Accompanying the collection is a set of photographs of the pages of a handwritten notebook kept by Woodward, detailing his discoveries, the areas searched and a useful sketch map of the fields of the River Aire terraces at the time, his principal area of flinting.
