A complete, flint, Neolithic, scraper, 4000BC-2000BC. The object is a tertiary flake with only a small amount of cortex remaining. The ventral surface preserves some of the bulb of percussion though some appears to have been removed during shaping. Th flake is quite thick almost domed and along the distal edge there are several large removals to create a tool surface. Along the bottom edge of the flake where the retouch working edge would be there is a significant amount of crush damage perhaps suggesting that an attempt was being made to renew the tool's cutting edge but this was …

A flint fabricator, probably dating from the Early to Middle Neolithic (c. 4000 - c. 3300 BC). The tool has been made from a thick secondary blade and is of elongated-oval form. The pointed-oval section has been achieved by bifacial reworking. This retouch is scaled and low angle to semi-abrupt; it is covering on the ventral surface and invasive on the dorsal, where the portion lacking retouch shows vertical arrises from prior blade removal. Only a small area of cortex remains, located at the distal end of the dorsal surface. Contact with alkaline soil has resulted in a white surfa…

Record ID: BH-F52837
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of possible Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 2351BC). The tool has been made from a long, parallel-sided flake which has been struck at 45 degrees to the platform, part of which survives. The striking point is visible but there is no clear bulb and no ripples. An area on the dorsal surface, adjacent to the platform, displays possible evidence for core preparation. A single arrise extends longitudinally down the centre, creating a triangular profile. Retouch, confined to the rounded distal end, is long, scaled and abrupt to semi-abrupt. Contact with alkaline soil has result…
