Record ID: OXON-D23516
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint thumbnail scraper of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, c. 2400 BC - 2200 BC. The scraper has been made on a tertiary flake of a mottled dark brown flint, lighter at the edges where the flint is thinner. The scraper retains the platform and bulb of percussion. There is invasive retouching around both lateral edges and the distal surface, all of which is restricted to the dorsal side.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end-scraper of probable Neolithic date, although potentially late Mesolithic. The scraper has been made on a tertiary flake of a mottled dark grey flint. The proximal end and three-quarters of the left side has been invasively retouched, removing any trace of the platform and bulb. The distal end ventral side has a hinge fracture. Suggested date c. 6000-2500 BC.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete but slightly damaged struck flint end and side scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is broadly D-shaped in pland and section and is formed on a tertiary flake of mottled light and dark grey flint; flake scars on the dorsal surface show previous removals. The platform has suffered post-depositional (weathering) damage and most of the bulb scar has been removed / is missing, however the percussion lines are retained on the ventral side. The dorsal surface bares soft-hammer retouch along c.60% of the left lateral, irregularly around t…

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete struck flint horseshoe scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is broad and sub-rectangular in plan and sub-oval shape in profile with a D-shaped section. The scraper is formed on a tertiary flake of dark grey flint with the nose of the scaper located at the ventral end. The platform has therefore been removed however percussion lines are evident on the ventral surface. There is also a hinge-like fracture at the distal end. The dorsal surface bares invasive, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch around the curved lateral and proximal edges; th…

County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint nose scraper on a plunging blade from a double platformed core, therefore of Mesolithic or Neolithic date (c. 8000-2400 BC). The object is formed on a tertiary flake of a mottled grey flint. There are three, if not more, two-directional removals visible on the dorsal surface; although neither platform survives, this is indicitive of a double platformed core. The thinner distal end has some fine soft hammer retouch on its tip which has lead to its identification as a nose scraper, however this may also have been the result of removal or preperation of the platform. This is prob…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Two flint scrapers, probably dating from the late Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Both scrapers are made on tertiary flakes and have steep soft hammer retouching at the dorsal distal end and down laterals. Both of these tools have been damaged post-deposition and are missing portions. The colour of the flint varies from a light to mottled grey brown.
These objects are part of a larger collection from what appears to be a multiphase site.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper dating to the Neolithic period, c. 4000-2350 BC. The scraper has been made on a flake and could be described as a 'thumbnail' scraper due to its size. There is no bulb or platform retained. Invasive soft-hammer retouch is visible around both laterals and the distal end, however there is none on the proximal end. All retouching is limited to the dorsal surface. The scraper has been burnt, after it was formed. There are two 'pot-lids', or spools that fracture and pop off under extreme conditons, such as heating or freezing. These pot lids break through the patina of the …
