Record ID: YORYM-787FE3
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, c. 4000 - 2300 BC. The implement is a thumbnail or rounded scraper, formed from a secondary flake which is D-shaped in section and roughtly oval in plan. The ventral surface is smooth with clear ripples of percussion suggesting the hard hammer technique was used in its removal. The dorsal surface displays abrupt scaled invasive retouch around the distal edge. The flint is a mottled-grey colour with pebble cortex on just part of the dorsal face. The implement is 26.42mm long, 21.03mm wide, 9.83mm thick and weigh…

A complete knapped lithic scraper of Neolithic date, c. 4000 - 2300 BC. The implement is a thumbnail or rounded scraper formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in section and a pointed-oval in plan. The ventral surface is smooth with subtle ripples of percussion suggesting the hard hammer technique was used in its removal. The dorsal surface displays semi-abrupt scaled short retouch around the distal edge. The flint is a mottled-grey colour. The implement is 30.05mm long, 25.27mm wide, 5.64mm thick and weighs 4.80g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout…

Record ID: YORYM-B9E0AD
Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete oblique arrowhead made of flint dating to the late Neolithic period (c. 2700-2200 BCE). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface displays semi-abrupt and abrupt short removals on both edges with invasive, scaled removals across the dorsal surface. A very small amount of cortex remains on the surface. The ventral side is less worked with stepped removals on the right side and bottom and no retouch on the left side. The lithic is an opaque light grey colour with white patches. The object measures 27.6mm in length, 19.7mm in wi…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC. The implement is a scraper, designed to be held between the thumb and forefinger, formed from a tertiary flake which is D-shaped in plan and plano-convex in section. The ventral surface is smooth with a small bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface displays multiple removals with short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch along the curved edge. The flint is a dark blue/black in colour. The implement is 26.8mm long, 24.1mm wide, 5.8mm thick and weighs 4.3g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehisto…
