Record ID: LANCUM-7D9D63
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper probably late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. This has been made from a very pale brown almost grey flint flake. It is fairly crude, with the appearance of having been re worked from a previous tool, with several large flakes removed from the dorsal side and a smaller number removed from the ventral side. All edges show extensive evidence of re working with both small flaking and micro faking to create the edges except at the proximal end which appears to have been snapped in antiquity. The is a very small area of cortex still adhering to the dorsal side. Length 57mm…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint leaf shaped arrow head probably late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. This has been made from a very pale brown flint flake, which has a low bulb of percussion and obvious concoidal ripples on the ventral side, while several flakes have been removed from the dorsal side, leaving a low dorsal ridge and ripples in various directions from where the flakes have been removed. There is the hint of a tang at the proximal end, showing evidence of re-working by micro flaking. The edges of the blade have also been reworked around almost the entire perimeter, with micro flaking mostly on t…

Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Middle Neolithic to early Bronze Age discoidal flint knife, patinated white, fabricated from a tertiary flake. There is extensive retouch all round the circumference of the knife. It is short, acute to semi-abrupt, and mostly sub-parallel. The retouch has been done in various phases and there is some variation in patination suggesting reuse at a later date, probably some time in the Bronze Age. Dates to between c3500 and c1601 BC. Length 39mm, width 30mm, thickness 8mm, weight 11.2g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Early Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint end scraper and knife. It has been fashioned on a mid grey flint secondary flake. There is short to semi-invasive, sub parallel, acute retouch to one median edge, producing an effective knife. Its use would have been aided by the cortex being retained on the majority of the other median, allowing pressure to be applied when cutting without the risk of injury. The distal end has been retouched (short, semi-abrupt, sub parallel) into an end scraper that has been retouched more than once. There is a retained fossil at the proximal end. Dates to b…

Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age mid grey flint thumbnail scraper fabricated from a secondary flake. A small gouge has also been fashioned on the flake. Dates to between c2700 to c1601 BC. Length 20mm, width 17mm, thickness 6mm, weight 3.4g.

Record ID: LANCUM-FEDB84
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Neolithic to late Bronze Age D shaped flint scraper manufactured on previously worked flint. Struck from a tertiary flake, it has a patinated white exterior with mid grey core. The flint was probably originally upper Paleolithic to early Mesolithic debitage or a broken tool, subsequently reworked, probably during the Bronze Age, but possibly in the late Neolithic. At least two phases of retouching are evident so it may well have been reused twice. Final use as a tool dates to between c2700 and c1600 BC. Length is 41mm, width 48mm, depth 12mm, and the weight 29.4g.
