  • Thumbnail image of LANCUM-177CC5

Record ID: LANCUM-177CC5
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Complete 'D' shaped scraper knapped from grey black flint and dating from the late Neolithic period 2500-2100BC, possibly a Riley Type 5 (Bond, C. Plate 5.112 and 5.113). The scraper is complete, made from a short, round flake with retouch along the total distal and halfway up the two mesial edges. Both the ventral and dorsal faces are very smooth with even ripple marks. Scrapers could have many uses from scraping the fat off animal skins, to scraping the bark off arrow shafts. The length is 42mm, width 34mm, thickness 6mm and the weight is 14.21g.

Perhaps an Early Neolithic oblique arrowhead sub-triangular in shape, but asymmetrical dating 3500BC-2900BC. The edge of the distal end curves inwards and a rounded spur protrudes slightly to one side only. The dorsal face is covered with semi-abrupt to low angle, covering, stepped retouch. The flint is white with plough damage at distal point also with bulb of percussion. The length is 31mm, width 20mm, thickness 3mm and the weight is 2g.

Polished axe tuff fragment of probable later Neolithic date (2500-2100 BC). The length is 87mm, width 57mm and thickness 15mm. The axe is knapped from a light blueish/grey buff volcanic tuff. This axe would have been, like many of the larger and finished (polished) Langdale axes, sub-rectangular plan with distinctive humped faces. The axe fragment has been damaged in several areas and is now sub-oval in plan. It is impossible to source axes such as these without a detailed petrological analysis of the rock. This would allow the original source of the rock to be established. However, t…

Black Pennines chert scraper possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is a dull black in colour with traces of the original white banding at the distal end. The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are sources of black chert in the South Pennines. The chert is worked on 4 faces and 2 edges with 4 blade scars visible. The length is 3.5mm in length and 1mm in width.

The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are sources of black chert in the South Pennines. The chert is worked on 3 faces and the proximal point has been worked into a long narrow tapering point now broken suggesting a kind of boring tool. The length is 2.3mm in length and 1.2mm in width.
