Record ID: LANCUM-CB833E
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint 'horseshoe' scraper. The scraper is circular with one straight edge in plan, and fabricated on a white patinated tertiary flake. The ccraper has been formed on the rounded distal end while the proximal end is the straight edge. There are three principle phases of working. In the first it has been roughed out with a series of invasive removals to the dorsal. The second phase consisted of shaping the distal edge with a series of long scaled semi abrupt removals. The final phase consists or short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch on the working edge. …

Object type: SERRATED IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early to mid Neolithic serrated implement made from a tertiary flake of pale milky grey translucent flint with small white inclusions. One side and the distal end have been worked into a fine saw. The serration was created by micro flaking (short, parallel, cross abrupt) from the dorsal and ventral sides. The side opposite the serrated edge has a single long, and three much smaller, deliberate removals for 12mm (similar to YORYM-697977). The area between this removal and the proximal has been blunted with invasive, scaled, low angle retouch 4mm inward from the edge. The tip has a high…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Early Neolithic to early Bronze Age banded pale pink rhyolite blade with an end scraper and probable side scrapers. There has been attempt to reduce one of the ridges. One face is polished by wear, providing clues as to how it was initially used, ie as a side scraper. The mesal edges have occasional retouch, mostly short, parallel, low angled. The end scraper has been produced by short to medium, scaled & crossed abrubt to semi abrupt retouch. The striking platform has been removed with a single flake and the edges of the scar retouched (medium, sub parallel, low angle). The rhyolite …

Record ID: LANCUM-CD4282
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Part of a mid Neolithic to early Bronze Age brown/green flint tool dating to between c2900 and c1500 BC. The flint has a high degree of translucence and is a brown/green colour with many small circular white inclusions. It seems originally to have been part of a D shaped scraper that was roughly 40mm in diameter. Only one quarter of the scraper remains. It has been broken in antiquity and refashioned to work as a multi tool. It has definately been used as a graver or borer, and probably also as burin or two and an end scraper. The length is 27mm, width 20mm and the thickness 7mm, an…
