A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC. The implement is a scraper, designed to be held between the thumb and forefinger, formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in plan and U-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth with a bulbar scar. The dorsal surface displays multiple removals with short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch along the curved edge. The flint is a light grey/white in colour. The implement is 21.1mm long, 25.4mm wide, 6.3mm thick and weighs 3.1g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are gener…

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete polished flint axehead of Neolithic date, c. 4000-2350 BC. The axehead is bi-convex and has a sub-rectangular profile and a pointed oval section. It has a smooth ground surface and a tapered ground curvilinear cutting edge. The axehead terminates at a blunt break part-way along its length. The break bears traces of the same cream discolouration as the outer surfaces, suggesting that the break is old. Small flakes have been lost from both surfaces of the axehead, and one large flake has been lost from the edge of one surface, at the narrowest part of the axehead. The a…
