A Neolithic discoidal scraper struck from a tertiary flake of grey flint, 47.3mm in length. The distal edge terminates in a hinge fracture and the sides and proximal end have been worked into scraping edges with short, semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch. There is a notch at the proximal end next to the striking platform, which most likely derives from post depositional damage.

A small Neolithic scraper struck from a tertiary flake of grey flint. The striking platform and bulbar scar are both pronounced and there is a deep concavity in the dorsal surface, all suggesting hard hammered removal. The distal end has a working edge defined by short, abrupt and semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch.

A rounded flint scraper made on a sub-circular tertiary flake. The flint is mottled mid to light grey with a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal surface has several broad, flat flake scars and areas of steep, abrupt retouch around the distal half, creating a slightly irregular semi-circular scraping edge. The ventral face has a moderately well-developed bulb of percussion below an area of flat striking platform, developing into broad, low concentric ripples.

A rounded scraper made on a thick tertiary flake. The flint is mid-light mottled grey and has a low-gloss patina. On the dorsal face, scaled, invasive, semi-abrupt retouch around part of one margin is well-controlled, creating a fine, curved scraping edge. The remainder of the scraping edge is cruder and steeper, resulting in an irregular or denticulate edge with some incipient 'underhang', it is likely that this is the result of secondary working or re-edging prior to discard. The ventral surface has a moderately pronounced bulb of percussion below a remnant of …

A knapped flint lithic implement of Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2350 BC) in the form of a scraper. The scraper is struck from a tertiary flake and retains no original cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits four parallel negative flake scars and invasive, sub-parallel, low angle retouch over c. 50% of its surface towards the distal end. The ventral surface exhibits a small, low bulb of percussion and some irregular flake removal. The scraper has been recorticated due to long term burial in a chalk environment, and is white-grey in colour. The scraper measures 40.60mm in length, 65.01mm…
