Grey-buff flint scraper fragment. Oval flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb [now] at one corner of its ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curving edge; the object is broken longitudinally near its midpoint. Misty patina extends across all exposed surfaces, showing that this breakage occurred in antiquity, and that the object was subsequently exposed to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 31.7mm, Width: 21.6mm, Thickness: 9.2mm, Weight: 6.98gms

Record ID: NLM-900825
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Opaque grey-buff flint scraper. Oval flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at the broader end of its ventral surface. Angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows part of a curved edge. Longer angled scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect continues the working of the same working edge, this probably also trimming the bulb of percussion. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 29.1mm, Width: 22.7mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 5.36gms

Black flint scraper. Flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and a bulbar ventral surface, now chipped. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curved edge. A lack of patina may suggest the object was subsequently incorporated into a sealed deposit. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC Length: 21.8mm, Width: 29.8mm, Thickness: 7.6mm, Weight: 5.33gms

Object type: BACKED BLADE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Grey flint with re-formed cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, backed blade. A D-shaped thick flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and with a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a convex curving edge, with the broad striking platform on the opposite side permitting pressure to be brought to bear on the cutting edge. Gritty cortex appears to have re-formed over part of that edge. The lack of patina may suggest the object was then incorporated into a sealed deposit. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC L…
