Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A thumbnail scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is formed on a fine, mid grey / black coloured good quality, tertiary flake of flint. The ventral face shows the bulb scar and point of percussion as well as conchoidal ripples; the prepared platform has been removed by subsequent flaking. The dorsal face has several removals / flake facets. These are most dense around the edge where a series of neat regular well applied secondary retouch can be seen. This has been well applied and forms a slightly serrated cutting / scraping edge that extends …
