A complete flint Scraper of Neolithic date (3450-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars and short stepped flaking and semi-abrupt retouch along both the left and right hand edges. The proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is slightly convex and has a small bulb of percussion situated at the distal end. The flake retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 15.45mm, Width: 18…

A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has a minor amount of retained cortex along the proximal edge. The left and right hand edges have fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The distal end tapers to a slight point and the proximal end has been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is slightly concave and has shallow ripples of percussion emanating from a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The flake retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. …

A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has three predominant negative scars, and short, scaled flaking along the proximal edge. The left and right hand edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is slightly concave due to a single large negative scar situated above a retained bulb of percussion along the proximal end. The flake retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is grey in colour wi…

A complete flint Notched Scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is L shaped in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has large, covering, scaled flaking and a distinct notch aspect in the left hand edge. The left and right hand edges, to either side of the notched aspect, have rough semi/abrupt retouch. The outer left and right hand edges have some semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly convex due to a large bulb of percussion situated at the proximal left right hand side. The bulb has partial, shallow, parallel flaking across its right hand…

A complete mesolithic thumb scraper. Worked from a larger flake on one side with bulb of percussion and striking platform removed. Ripples travel from right to left on the unworked face. It has a curved profile with part of the cortex present on the worked face.
