A complete thumbnail scraper dating to the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. The scraper is struck off a secondary flake made of light speckeled grey flint with lighter grey pathces and a semi glossy patina. The cortex fragment remainig is a creamy white colour. The scraper is pentagonal in plan and trapezoidal in cross section with the left and right edges angling outwards from the short proximal edge to the wider distal edge which is convex. This distal edge has short parallel, semi abrupt retouch on its dorsal face. The dorsal face also demonstrates at least two earlier fla…

A flint side scraper probably dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period c. 4000-1500 BC. The object is worked from a secondary flake that retains a thin crust of white pebble cortex on one edge. It is made of mottled light grey flint with white patches that has a semi-glossy patina. The flake is sub-oval in plan and uneven in cross section. The striking platform survives as does a medium sized bulb of percussion from which conchoidal ripples emanate.  Two negative removal scars from the same direction are present on the dorsal face. There is no sign of retouch.…
