A large, very coarsely worked denticulate scraper. Dark to mid grey patchy flint with greyish, mid gloss patina and some iron staining. Worked on a natural flake from a large nodule. The scraper is sub-angular in shape with a large area of stained coretex on the dorsal surface. Two of the four edges have been flaked from the ventral face, with large flakes removed leaving distinct points between them at the working edge. This implement is difficult to date, but it is most likely to be of Middle to late Bronze Age date (Peter Bellamy, pers. comm) Date: Probably Middle to Late Bronze Ag…

A possible scraper retouched tertiary flint flake. An irregular flake of dark grey-brown flint with a glossy patina. The striking platform has been removed by re-touch flaking. There is a slight bulb of percussion and a large bulbar scar on the ventral surface. There are narrow waves of percussion on the ventral face. There are three main flaking scars on the dorsal face, all with marked waves of percussion. There are small areas of re-touch flaking in several places around the edge of the flake but there is also quite a lot of later edge damage making it dificult to be certain of thi…

A large, discoidal flint scraper. Made on a tertiary flake of pale grey and white banded, opaque flint with a matt patina. There is a large striking platform at the proximal end and a large bulb of percussion with bulbar scar on the ventral face. On the dorsal face are several deep flaking scars. The scraper is broken and incomplete on the left side (from the dorsal view) possibly as the result of natural flaws and banding in the flint. The scraper is broadly discoidal or U-shaped and has been retouched around almost all of the remaining circumference, with only the proximal end unwor…
