Record ID: DUR-8C4E10
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint thumbnail scraper of Neolithic date (3450-2350). The lithic is sub-ovate in plan and plano-covex in section. The dorsal surface has multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises and hinged flake removal at the proximal end. The distal, left and right hand edges have short parallel flaking and abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has five negative scars and corresponding arrises. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is dark grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.

County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint scraper, probably of Neolithic-Bronze Age date, c. 3000-2000 BC.
The scraper is sub-triangular in plan view, worked only on one face in a honey-brown coloured flint. The dorsal face has had some retouch on the broad face (long, subparallel, low angled) and some on the edges (short, scaled, low-angled). There is no retouch ont he ventral face.

Object type: DEBITAGE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flake of flint debitage of uncertain age but possible Mesolithic to Bronze Age date (9000 to 2200 BC).
This is a flake of semi-translucent grey flint with white inclusions and a light patina. It is sub-triangular in shape and sub-triangular in cross section.
The dorsal surface has three flake removal scars with conchoidal ripples that indicate that they were struck from the pointed end making this the proximal end. The distal end has been snapped off and the lack of patina at this end would indicate this was done at a later date. The original flake would therefore have been longer.…

Small flint piece, possibly a small blade.
It is made from a white flint with a greyish centre. The bulb of percussion is visible at the base. On the upper (dorsal) surface two flake have been taken off down the central line giving a trapezoidal cross section. This is probably a piece in the process of being worked into a tool which did not continue.

Small flint flake from the prehistoric period, Meolithic- Neolithic.
It is made from a white flint with a greyish centre. It is sub-rectangular in plan with an indent on each side at the same level and uneven edges all around. There is a ridge which runs the length of the flake. This is probably a piece in the process of being worked into a tool which did not continue.

A group of five pieces of flint debitage of probable Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The object demonstrate limited amounts of working and are of an undiagnostic form. All have negative scars while only one (1 top left), retains a small bulb of percussion. None demonstrate any retouch.
The flints range in colour from light cream to light creamy grey. None retain any cortex.

Object type: MICROLITH
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Published
A complete chert microlith probable scraper of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular.
