A coarse flint end scraper of Neolithic to late prehistoric date c 4000-1 BC. Description: The scraper is produced from a primary flake with leaving the dorsal side mostly covered in cortex. The flake is sub-triangular in shape. The flaking is hard hammer producing pronounced scars and conchoidal fracturing. The bulb of percussion is very prounounced with a fissure across the top left across the conchoidal rippling. Two edges alinged towards the bulb are barely worked with on a few removals. The scraping long edge has short scaled abrupt retouch typical of end scra…

A rounded flint scraper of uncertain date, likely Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age (c.3300BC - 1000BC). Description: The scraper is rounded with a flatt butt end where the striking plaform is located. It has a heavily worked dorsal face. The bulb of percussion, flaking and retouch are very pronounced which suggests the use of a hard hammer in their production. Majority of the edge barring the small straight edge on the left dorsal edge with some cortex still in place and the striking platform end of the distal end has short, scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The edge dog legs inwards s…

A probable flint hollow scraper of the Neolithic or Bronze Age date c 4000-1000BC. Description: The scraper is made from an irregularly shaped tertiary flake. It is uncertain if it is complete or not due to a break abutting the scraping edge. The sraping edge is short and concave creating a hollow scraping edge formed from invasive scaled semi-abrupt retouch. The flint is mottled mid to light grey with no cortex remaining. Measurements: 28.94mm long, 24.38mm wide, 8.87mm thick and 6.03g in weight.

There is short scaled semi-abrupt retouch along the right side creating a scraping blade. The tool is very thick on the left side and narrows substantial to the edge. The striking platforms seems to have been substantially …

A knapped flint scraper of unclassified type likely that of the middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age in Date (c.3300 -- 1000BC). Description: The scraper is formed from an irregularly shaped tertiary flake. Describing the flint while viewing it on the dorsal face it has a pointed right side, flat parallel top and bottom edges and a rounded left side. The flint has substantial invasive stepped semi-abrupt flaking along the bottom side up to the point on the right side. The top flat edge has abrupt short scaled flaking which changes to short scaled semi-abrupt retouch shaping the poi…

A 'rounded' flint scraper of likely Neolithic - early Bronze-Age date c.4000 - 1000BC. Description: The scraper is made from a rectangular shaped piece of flint with rounded edges. The scraper has retouch along three edges which due to the length of the sides is 85% of the edges. The retouch on the right side of the dorsal face is short scaled and semi-abrupt, while on the bottom edge it is short, scaled abrupt retouch. The retouch on the left edge is however flaking angled towards the ventral face and is short scaled and semi-abrupt. The ventral face has a shallow bulb of percussi…

A small D-shaped flint scraper of early-mid Neolithic date c.3500 - 2200BC. Description: The scraper is made from a D-shaped flake, with very limited short scaled semi-abrupt retouch around the convex side of the scraper. The scraping edge along the flat side is long stepped and semi-abrupt. The flaking to produce the scraping edge almost entirely obscure the bulb of percussion. The conchoidal ripples from the now obscured bulb of percussion and other flaking are quite substantial. The flint is a dark grey colour over three quarters of its surface with a long crescent quarter of th…

A flint implement of uncertain use, likely dating to the Neolithic, c.4000 BC - 2200 BC. Description: The implement is irregularly shaped, in cross-section it is triangular as the dorsal face has a central ridge and is convex. The bulb of percussion is very very subtle as are the conchoidal fractures / rippling. There is irregular short scaled semi-abrupt retouch along the sides. The retouch may in fact be intentional blunting with battering/bashed edge (similar to backed edges of backed blades) rather than retouch but it isn't clear why this would happen on both edges. The impleme…
