County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumb nail scraper dating from the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (2500BC - 1500 BC). It is formed on a flake of light grey opaque flint speckled with white inclusions. The ventral face is rounded and the dorsal face is peaked, so the flint is sub triangular in section. There is invasive retouch at the distal end and sides.

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper dating from the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (3500 BC - 1500 BC). It is formed on a flake which is the bulb of percussion from a much larger flint which probably became detached during the knapping process and has been utilised as a blank for a tool. The ventral face is rounded and the dorsal face is flatter. There is semi abrupt retouch at the distal end. The flint has patinated to a creamy white colour, and is very worn perhaps suggesting a watery environment.

Flint scraper, probably Neolithic- Bronze Age in date, c.3500- 800 BC. It is made from a light grey flint with some white inclusions. A very small piece of cortext remains on the base of one edge. In plan it is sub-tear drop in shape, with a rounded base and a pointed tip. It has been worked on all edges, with re-touching visible around most of the edges, particularly near the top (when viewed on the image). There have been some flakes taken off both faces. It is difficult to allocate specific dates to flints when they are found out of context, in particular ones which have no …

Neolithic- Bronze Age flint scraper, c. 3500 BC - 800 BC. It is made from a pebble flint, and one face still has the cream coloured cortext remaining. In plan it is almost triangular, with a widened round end, narrowing towards a slightly pointed end. The bulb of percussion is at the narrowest end, with some conchoidal ripples visible. There is a large chip at the wider end which is due to plough damage. All around the widened edge, and part way down the long sides, re-touching is visible, where the edge has been worked to make it useable as a scraper. The flint is a orangey-bro…
