Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a socketed chisel or miniature flat axe dating from the Late Bronze Age c. 1150-800 BC. The fragment comprises a flat blade which tapers inwards as the thickness increases forming a broadly trapezoidal fragment. The fragment terminates short of full length with a worn transverse break. The fragment is hollow with the interior containing some organic material. Viewing the object towards the socket presents an elongated oval cross-section. The blade edge is fairly worn but otherwise undamaged. All the surfaces of the f…

Late Neolithic/early Bronze Age c.3000 - c.1500 BC 'thumbnail' scraper. Although scrapers are fairly ubiquitous, the retouch looks invasive and penetrates deeply into the body of the scraper. The scraper has retouch on c.75% of its circular shape and brown is a molted grey and white colour. The base of the scraper is relatively flat with slight ripples indicative of a soft hammered flake. A strike platform is vistable.  Length: 15.07mm, Width: 16.42mm, Thickness at its thickest point: 4mm. Weight: 1.24g.
