Record ID: NARC-9E90B3
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9,000-2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars. Both the proximal and distal ends are abruptly blunted. The left- and right-hand edges have rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length: 38.27mm, Width: 13.86mm, Thickness: 6.47mm, Weight: 3.0g The flint is light brown and cream in colour.

A complete possible utilised Core Rejuvenation flake of Mesolithic date (9,000-3,450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex and has four predominant negative scars, one of which is a deep hinged flake removal at the distal end. The distal edge is flat and forms a portion of the striking platform. There is some retouch to the left- and right-hand edges which indicates the flake was reused. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with the exception of two negative scars. Length: 83.79mm, Width: 31.94mm, Thickness:…

A complete flint Core of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and bi-convex in section. The proximal end tapers to a point and the distal end is flattened to form a striking platform. Both the dorsal and ventral surfaces contain multiple negative scars. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is dark grey in colour with light grey inclusions throughout. Length: mm, Width: mm, Thickness: mm, Weight: g.

A complete flint Core of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and bi-convex in section and tapers to a slight point at the proximal end. The dorsal and ventral surfaces have multiple negative scars, probably from blade removal and one hinged flake removal. The lithic retains cortex along one edge. There is a flat, single striking platform on the opposing end from the tapering end. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. The flint is grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is a light brown in colour. L…
