Complete end scraper of conventional form; made from a secondary, hard hammer struck flake of glossy black flint with some inclusions, steeply retouched at the distal end to form the semi-circular scraping edge, small patch of sandy coloured thin cortex extant to one lateral side, showing the outside curve of the flint nodule this was struck from. A very useful tool in the initial preparation of fresh hides for tanning, effective in removing the subcutaneous fat from just below the surface of the skin. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

Thin, ovoid scraper made from a large primary flake, all flake scars appear to be soft hammer struck to the dorsal face only, the flakes have not been able to remove the thin, weathered cortex, though a very acute angle has been achieved along the longer side, one end is steeper and more of a conventional scraper form, the opposing end and the “back” are of rougher knapping and finishing, this may suggest that this scraper was hafted, though this is not conclusive. Brown patination, single recent chip to the side of the ventral face reveals the flint was originally mottled …

End scraper of relatively large size, made from a secondary, hard hammer struck flake of mottled grey flint with thin, worn, pale sandy coloured cortex now with some small spotty iron stains towards the proximal end.  The steep retouch is confined to the distal end forming the neat semi-circular scraping edge and the sharper (non-cortical) side, presumably to slightly blunt it. Neolithic, given the size, probably early, 4,000 to 3,000 BC.

Distal end of a secondary (?)hard hammer struck flake, only the distal end has been recovered, the proximal end was transversely broken in antiquity, probably at the point of striking off this flake from the core. The distal end has been steeply retouched to form a semi-circular scraping edge in the conventional manner. The flint is now patinated mottled light grey and white, the extant cortex is thin, worn and a sandy colour, there is recent damage to part of the scraping edge, this shows the flint to have originally been dark grey/brown. Neolithic, possibly Early, 4,000 to 3,000 BC.
