Record ID: SOM-117E07
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Side and end scraper, produced on a secondary flake. When viewed from the dorsal face, the object has a fairly straight left side with an outwards curving proximal end and right side. On the ventral face the platform is small and the bulb fairly prominent. The dorsal face has a ridge running its length towards the left side. To the left of this ridge, towards the distal end, is a small amount of semi-abrupt, invasive, stepped retouch, with some shorter, subparallel retouch at the very edge. There is further semi-abrupt, long, scaled retouch along the curved distal end reaching along th…

Record ID: SOM-3DE531
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Produced on a tertiary flake. The object is roughly ovoid in form, bur with a pointed ventral end. The dorsal face has two primary removals either side of a central ridge. With a further long, thin removal along the right edge, and several crude, small ones along the left edge towards the proximal end. There is wide, semi-abrupt, long, parallel retouch along the curved distal end, interspersed with occasional patches of small, short, scaled removals. The flint is brown-grey in colour, with a milky patina in places and speckled with lighter patches. The object is probably of Neolithic t…

Record ID: SOM-3DD471
Object type: SIDE SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint scraper, produced on a long, tertiary flake. The dorsal face has four long, thin flaking scars. The ventral face has a prominent bulb, but the striking platform is missing due to retouch. The right edge of the ventral face has sporadic low angle, very short, subparallel retouch. The upper right edge of the dorsal face has semi-abrupt, short, scaled retouch. This continued around the ventral end, becoming more abrupt here. The lower left edge of the dorsal face also has semi-abrupt, short, scaled retouch. The proximal end of the dorsal face has been shaped to a point using low ang…
