A Scraper is a unifacially retouched tool with a steep wide angled edge. It is designed to scrape material such as wood, bone and hide.One important variety is the thumbnail scraper, which characteristically tends to be small and discoid in outline. This small, circular worked flint is from the Mesolithic period. It is dark brown in colour with transluscent edges. The cortex covers the dorsal surface, with the exception of the worked edges. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are both evident. The flint measures 18.12mm x 17.58mm and weighs 1.50g. These flints form part of…

A Scraper is a unifacially retouched tool with a steep wide angled edge. It is designed to scrape material such as wood, bone and hide. One important variety is the thumbnail scraper, which characteristically tends to be small and discoid in outline. This very small, circular flint is from the Mesolithic period. It is dark bown in colour. On the ventral surface, the striking platform and bulb of percussion are evident, with some rippling. The flaking scars almost completely cover the dorsal surface and it has been finely worked. The flint measures 14.67mm x 13.30mm and weighs 1.80g.Th…

A Scraper is a unifacially retouched tool, with a steep wide-angled edge. It is designed to scrape material such as wood, bone and hide. One important variety is the thumbnail scraper, which characteristically tends to be a small discoid in outline. This sub-circular chert dating to the Mesolithic period is light grey in colour with some white mottling and a dull, matt hue. It has a dark grey stripe , which runs obliquely across both sides. A flake has been removed across the stripe, creating a ridge on the dorsal side. It is well worked around the edges. It measures 26.86mm x 23.70mm…

One important variety is the Thumbnail scraper which tends to be a small discoid in outline. This Mesolithic flint is dark grey in coliur and was circular until breakage across the striking platform created two flaking scars at right angles to each other. A piece of cortex on the dorsal face has not been removed and creates a central ridge across the face. It is well worked at the edges.

Complete 'D' shaped scraper knapped from grey black flint and dating from the late Neolithic period 2500-2100BC, possibly a Riley Type 5 (Bond, C. Plate 5.112 and 5.113). The scraper is complete, made from a short, round flake with retouch along the total distal and halfway up the two mesial edges. Both the ventral and dorsal faces are very smooth with even ripple marks. Scrapers could have many uses from scraping the fat off animal skins, to scraping the bark off arrow shafts. The length is 42mm, width 34mm, thickness 6mm and the weight is 14.21g.
