A rounded scraper formed on a tertiary flake of Portland Chert. The chert has a light grey patination with very slight edge damage revealing a mid-grey interior. The dorsal surface has several broad flake scars from previous removals, with short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch around approx 50% of the flake edge. The ventral face has slight, poorly defined ripples but is dominated by a large shallow bulbar scar. Date: Neolithic  BC 3300 - BC 2350 Dimensions:  50.68 mm x 46.59 mm x  12.67 mm Weight: 32.02 g

A rounded scraper made on a thick, secondary flake of Portland chert. The chert is mid-grey with a mid-gloss patina. The dorsal face carries two areas of limestone cortex and two earlier flake scars. There is steep, scaled semi-invasive retouch around 50-60% of the distal end and sides creating a rounded scraping edge. Several post-depositional flake scars disfigure the scraping edge.  The ventral face has an ill-defined bulb of percussion, partly removed by a striking fracture.  Date: Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age: BC 3300 - BC 1600 Dimensions: …

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 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 small scraper of Bronze Age date struck from a tertiary waste flake of banded grey flint. The distal end has long semi-abrupt sub parallel retouch and the proximal edge has short abrupt retouch to defining working edges; this has been done through earlier surface recortication suggesting that this object is a re-used waste flake of a much earlier date, possibly originally Mesolithic or Neolithic.

A large secondary flint flake with a small area of retouch in the middle of one edge. Mid grey to pale grey and white mottled flint with a low gloss patina. There is a very small area of nodule cortex on the dorsal face at the distal end. The Proximal end has been snapped off. The flaking scars on the dorsal face indicate the flake results from blade production and the it also has the trapeziodal cross section associated with this. There is a small area of pressure flake retouch on the right edge on the ventral face. Date: Neolithic (probably) 3500 - 2100 BC Dimensions: 70 mm x 33…
