A complete lithic thumb scraper of Neolithic date designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. The object is D-shaped in plan and section. The ventral surface is smooth with no visible bulb of percussion or ripples of percussion. The dorsal surface is irregular with some flakes removed during the shaping process producing negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal edge has been heavily worked to create the scraping edge which is fairly shallow and sloping along the right hand edge and is steeper along the left edge. The flint is a mid greyish-white colour with …

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A flint scraper dating from the late Neolithic period, about 2500 BC - 2100 BC. It is an oval flake of opaque grey flint with cortex surviving on part of the proximal end. The flake was formed by blows from two striking platforms; the first from the distal end which is now worked, and the second from the end with surviving cortex, which is thus described as the proximal end. The distal end has been worked into a wide scraper with high quality invasive shallow retouch. There is evidence of both percussion and pressure flaking.

A group of 65 miscellaneous tools and utilised flint and chert flakes of many kinds from a 2 hectare field amongst a total of 850 worked flint fragments including waste and utilised pieces and tools. The flints have individual GPS records to a few metres accuracy which form a cluster extending beyond but centred in the field close to a brook at the edge of its flat alluvial plain and slightly above. The flints form a broad funnel to a crossing point and continue less frequently on the other side. There is no modern obvious preferential ford but fallen branches make natural bridges and…

A near complete knapped lithic knife of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The knife, which is an elongated oval in plan and slightly convex in cross-section with the apex in cross section being off-centre is bi-facialy worked with extensive retouch. Due to extensive invasive retouch the original attributes of the flint flake from which the knife was formed have being lost (ie. striking platform, ripples and bulb of percussion). The distal edge of the knife has been invasively retouched on both the ventral and dorsal faces to form an arched tip and this retouch then continues on …

County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An incomplete Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flint pick (c. 6500 BC-c. 2100 BC). This is about 50% of the implement and is the butt end. It is sub-triangular in plan and cross-section and has been knapped overall except for a small area of cortex. There are several natural cavities on one face. The surfaces, including the break, are dark grey with off-white mottling. Length: 92.02mm; width: 50.32mm; thickness: 39.57mm. Weight: 175.87. Although the implement was found within the inter-tidal zone, the arrises are sharp and there is no marine growth.
