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…

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.

A black chert scraper. Late mesolithic to early neolithic in date. The chert is the typical chert used for lithic tool production in the Marles Wood area. It has a 'warty' texture as opposed to the smoother, more glassy texture of the best quality Boulsworth chert. Length 32mm, width 25mm, depth 6mm, weighs 6.45g. A number of chert lithic items, & a few flint ones, have also been found in the vicinity. John Hallam directed a dig in the area some time ago. There is an account of the excavation in David Barrowclough's book "Prehistoric Lancashire".

Good quality black chert tool, probably used as an end scraper or chisel mounted at the tip of a stick, and possibly adapted from a borer or drill. There is wear to the working end and it has been retouched. Mid Mesolithic to mid Neolithic in date (c6500 to c2500 BC). The length is 10mm, width 5.5mm, thickness 3.5mm, and the weight is 0.3g.

Mid Mesolithic to early Neolithic flint microlith. The high quality flint is a pale grey to greyish white with occasional white pinpoint inclusions. The bulging (1mm to 3mm) ventral side has been left untouched with the exception of one microflake. This was probably to remove an imperfection just below the cortex. The dorsal has much more complex working. It has been worked in three stages to produce the implement. The initial two stages are probably from preparation on the core (overall effect has been to reduce the overall thickness) as the working is from the distal end. The third …

Flint implement possibly a core used for striking microliths in the Mesolithic 8300 - 4500 BC. The flint is white and perhaps originates from the Yorkshire Wolds or could alternatively be worked beach flint from the Lancashire coast. There are 5 blade scars where microliths have been removed.The length is 30mm and the width 21mm.

A small piece of flint of uncertain date. It is oval in plan and triangular in cross-section. The fragment has been water worn resulting in a gloss covering. This gloss makes the typical features of a struck flint very difficult to identify. The flint is a natural shape which occurs with broken fragments of flint, and it is not likely that it was decisively struck. The longest edge has been chipped. This may be due to ware while in the water or ice, however the fragment may also have been picked up and used at some stage. It has a toffee-brown patina.

Mesolithic/Neolithic largely unmodified flake to judge from the negative scars on the dorsal surface 8300-2100 BC. The flint is grey with white patches with a striking platform. The dorsal face is concave with a bulb of percussion at the proximal end, ripples and evidence of retouching along a curved edge to the distal point. The ventral face is slightly convex with numerous blade scars and has been extensively worked at the proximal probably for the purpose of hafting. The arrises (the crests between each flake) on the right side. The arrises on the left, in contrast, are sharp The f…

Mesolithic black chert tool. Probably used as a fine chisel and for widening holes. Full use has been made of the areas that are high quality material. There are a few removals to the distal that produce a curved chiseled end. These have received a significant amount of wear. It is probable that use has been made of the way the stone has fractured to enable to act has a hole widener. This impression is re-inforced by a long fine removal down one edge that seems to have been made in order to improve its cutting abilities while being twisted. Dates to between c8300 and c4500 BC.

Mesolithic to early Neolithic worked mid grey flint or chert notched arrowhead or scraper. It is nearly identical in plan to the quartzite LANCUM-0A4612, though due to the easier to work stone, this artefact is much thinner and a little smaller. Dates to between c6500 and c2900 BC. The length is 15mm, width 8.5mm, thickness 1.5mm, and the weight is under 0.1g.

Black Pennines chert microlith possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is a dull black in colour with traces of the original white banding at the distal end. The surface reveals traces of weathering but this would be consistent with the original working of the weathered face for extraction. There are known sources of black chert in the South Pennines and is naturally occurring in beds on Pendle Hill and in the local glacial dumped material. The length is 9mm, width 6mm, thickness 5mm and the weight is 1.63g.
