A flint probable scraper of uncertain date, Mesolithic to Iron Age, 10,000 BC - 1 BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of mottled brown flint with red tinges, which has repatinated on some faces. This may suggest a date at the latter end of the range. There are various removal scars on the edges, some of which may be damage, and an area of short, scaled, semi-abrupt probably intentional retouch on the right edge for use as a scraper. Measurements are; length 34.4mm, width 24.5mm, thickness 11.4mm and weight 10.28g. The flint was found in the same area as another flint SWYOR-537AB…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint possible retouched flake of unknown date, probably neolithic to Iron Age, 4000 BC - 1 BC. The flake is secodary and formed on red brown flint. It is worn and has some damage including thermal pot-lid fractures. Cortex survives at one end. The striking platform is not evident, having been removed by damage, but there is possible scaled retouch on the left side. A more recent removal from the distal end (as photographed) has removed the red patina. Measurements are; length 28.3mm, width 25.2mm, thickness 8.2mm and weight 5.70g. This flint may be natural. It was found in the same …

A crude cream/grey side scraper produced from a tertiary debitage flint flake dating from late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. 3500 BC - 2100 BC. It is formed from a leaf shaped flake with a notched void at the right mesal (edge). Three flakes have been removed at the opposite edge. One along the very edge forms a sharp cutting/scraping edge. The ventral surface has a low bulb of percussion and faint radiating ripples of percussion emanating from it. There is short,semi-abrupt,sub-parallel retouch around the edge of the notch. Date 3500 BC - 2100 BC. Length: 35.3mm, wid…
