A Neolithic discoidal scraper struck from a tertiary flake of grey flint, 47.3mm in length. The distal edge terminates in a hinge fracture and the sides and proximal end have been worked into scraping edges with short, semi-abrupt sub-parallel retouch. There is a notch at the proximal end next to the striking platform, which most likely derives from post depositional damage.

On the dorsal face, scaled, invasive, semi-abrupt retouch around part of one margin is well-controlled, creating a fine, curved scraping edge. The remainder of the scraping edge is cruder and steeper, resulting in an irregular or denticulate edge with some incipient 'underhang', it is likely that this is the result of secondary working or re-edging prior to discard. The ventral surface has a moderately pronounced bulb of percussion below a remnant of …

The dorsal face shows three parallel blade flake scars alongside one larger broad flake scar, this scar terminates in a hinge fracture. The pointed distal end shows scaled, semi-abrupt retouch along its right side margin and sub-parallel retouch at the rounded apex on the left side. The ventral face shows a fa…

A double ended flint end scraper. It is sub-oval with thick nodular cortex remaining across 70% of the dorsal face. The flint is semi-translucent mid-grey and has a mid-gloss patina. The retouch to the dorsal face is short, scaled and abrupt at the distal end where the cortex has been removed. The retouch to the proximal end and lower left and right margins is scaled and semi-abrupt. The ventral face is flat and shows no apparent bulb of percussion, however there are visible ripples indication the direction of percussion. Date: Mesolithic (possibly) to Neolithic 10000 BC to 2350 BC. …

A rounded scraper tool manufactured on a large secondary flake of flint. The scraper is sub-oval with thick nodular cortex remaining on approximately 80% of the central dorsal face and some small areas along the left side margin.The flint is opaque, mid to light grey and mottled with a low-gloss patina, some areas of ferrous iron staining are visible. The retouch to the dorsal face is long, sub-parallel and abrupt around the distal end and left side margin, the right side margin has a long and straight hinge fracture running from the distal end to half way down the tool, there is a sl…
