Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Black flint with cortex, probably collected from the East Coast, scraper. Thick flake with cortex trimmed around its edges by hard hammer strike from one side, and with cortex or recortification on the other. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a gently concave edge, possibly qualifying this as a hollow scraper. Slightly invasive scalar retouch executed from the other side follows an adjacent straight edge, and may also trim the side opposite the hollowed one. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC. Length: 41.1mm, Width: 40.2mm, Thickness: 11.8mm, …

Grey flint of good quality scraper. Angular lump with broad flakes removed by angled hard hammer strike from the dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. Very short abrupt retouch follows one straight edge. An originally sharp aris between facets of the dorsal side has been ground or battered to afford a more comfortable grip.

Dark mottled brown Flint of good quality, saw. Long plano-convex flake with long parallel flake removal scars on its convex dorsal aspect, a bulb of percussion at one end on the ventral aspect where the flake was removed from core. Fine pressure flaked retouch, mainly executed from the dorsal aspect, extends almost all round the flake, conferring a very finely serrated edge. The quality of both the material selected and its working, especially the controlled removal of long flakes, suggests an Early Neolithic date. The recent re-dating of the Early Neolithic to 4000-3500 BC may accomm…

Grey semi-translucent Flint of high quality. Saw. Flake with long hard hammer flake removal scars across all of the dorsal aspect, and with a marked bulb of percussion on the ventral aspect where it has been removed from the core. Subsequent working was probably pressure flaking around the edges executed from the dorsal aspect. This is part of a small group of objects of apparently similar function - perhaps the cutting of skin or sinew - reported from the same location, perhaps elements of a specialist tool kit lost together. This suggests the group deserves to be considered as a fin…

Dark mottled brown Flint of good quality, cf. NLM-FEE5D1 Saw, of sub-triangular plano-convex section along its blade, which is broken at one end, probably in antiquity and possibly deliberately. A long flake bears two long flake removal scars on its dorsal aspect, and a very pronounced bulb of percussion on the ventral side at its wider end. The 'bulb' describes a forty-five degree angled turn, giving a heavier handle end to the tool. The removal of a further long flake parallel to the flakes removed from the dorsal aspect gives a flat back as one edge, and would serve as finger …

County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Dark brown flint of high quality with cortex. Scraper. Possibly a nosed scraper, of plano convex form achieved by pressure flaking of cortex from around the curved edge, and the detaching of the flint from core, though the order in which these tasks were executed is uncertain. The bulb of percussion is lost, probably to recent damage. The dark brown tint of the flint is unusual for tools found in northern Lincolnshire, though this reporter has seen well-made Early Neolithic tools of similar material in the more southerly part of the county.

Opaque grey flint, patinated on the ventral side only. Flint knife fragment. There are four long parallel flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect conferring an angular plano-convex section, and part of a bulb of percussion on the ventral. Broken at one or both ends. The partial serration of the cutting edges is almost certainly a result of fortuitous damage. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.

White patinated flint - on the dorsal side - with a blue tint with cloudy white patina on the ventral. Debitage. The dorsal aspect bears a pair of adjacent flake removal scars of possibly natural origin along with a break at one end, but a bulb of percussion on the ventral side suggests at least the subsequent investigation of its potential for working. The Neolithic period could accommodate both episodes in its long span. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 39mm, Width: 22.6mm, Thickness: 7.5mm, Weight: 5.32gms.

Toffee coloured clouded and opaque flint. Knife. Narrow rod shaped blade. Four very long parallel flake removal scars on the dorsal aspect confer an angular plano-convex profile; very faint rippling on the ventral side shows where the flake was detached from a core. Some slight abrasions along the edge have been smoothed. Though the object has a glossy surface overall, possibly a result of curation in antiquity, the context could equally suggest this appealing finish to be the result of wave action.

County: North East Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Grey-green flint with cortex possible scraper. Thick flake with two flakes struck from the ventral surface and with a concave patinated dorsal surface.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Grey-green flint debitage. Flake with broad flakes removed from its dorsal side by hard hammer working and with a bulbar ventral surface. A pair of subsequently inflicted long adjacent scars on the dorsal side arose from edge-on impacts, and may, despite appearances, represent adventitious damage.
