Record ID: WAW-C51C17
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A knapped flint or chert scraper. The flint or chert is a mid red/brown colour with red/beige patches. In plan it is a sub-drop shape. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the side and lower edges, the base of the drop shape. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The angle of the retouch is c. 60 degrees. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has bulbar scars as well as the bulb and concentric rings. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 36.98mm long and is 28.64mm wide. It weighs 10.6g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint end and side scraper. Length 33.2mm; width: 22.8mm; thickness: 8.2mm; mass: 7.2g. The scraper is formed on a dark gray, almost black coloured secondary flint flake, with approximately 10% cortex remaining on one edge of the ventral side. There is abrupt retouch on part of one mesial edge and the distal end of the ventral side. The dorsal side has gentle ripples of the concoidal fracture, with a series of scars at the proximal end. There is also a large scar on one side of the distal end. The scraper is likely to be prehistoric, probably dating from the mesolithi…

A knapped flint scraper. Length 25.0mm; width: 19.1mm; thickness: 9.9mm; mass: 3.8g. The scraper is formed on a light brown/off white coloured secondary flint flake, with approximately 20% cortex remaining on one side. There are multiple negative flake scars on the flatter side. The other face has semi-abrupt retouch covering the semi-circular distal end, between the cortex at one side, and the break at the other side. The scraper is likely to be prehistoric, probably dating from the mesolithic period (c. 8,300 BC to c. 4,500 BC).

A flint thumbnail scraper, probably dating from the late neolithic or early bronze age periods. Length 16.6mm; width: 17.9mm; thickness: 8.0mm; mass: 2.7g. The scraper is formed on a secondary grey coloured flint flake, with approximately 25% cortex remaining on the proximal end of the dorsal side. There is invasive retouch on the dorsal side, with the retouched edge stretching around much of the circumference, excluding the cortex covered proximal end. On the ventral face there is a diffuse bulb of percussion and ripples of the conchoidal fracture. There is also a sub-triangular n…

A prehistoric knapped end-and-side scraper on a flint flake. Length: 29.9mm; width: 27.2mm; thickness: 6.5mm; mass: 5.7g. The ventral face has a diffuse bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar at the proximal end, with ripples of the conchoidal fracture visible at the distal end. On the dorsal face there are a series of narrow unidirectional negative flake scars and ridges, with semi-abrupt retouch on the distal end and almost the entire length of one edge. The flint flake is non-cortical is grey and black in colour. The scraper is likely to be prehistoric, probably dating from the Mesol…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A prehistoric flint object, probably a Neolithic or Bronze Age scraper. The flint appears to have a bulb of percussion and bulb scar at the proximal end, and retouch has been applied to the distal end, applied from both ventral and dorsal faces. The flint is a cream to grey colour with ochre brown in places. The flint is not clearly diagnostic of a closely defined prehistoric period, and is likely to be Neolithic or Bronze Age in date, dating from circa 4000 to 1500 BC. If more diagnostic artefacts were recovered from the same area, this might allow suggestion of a more closely define…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Staffordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A largely complete disc scraper, fabricated from a broad, squat flint flake, probably from the later neolithic or early bronze age. In plan the scraper is broadly circular, with a flat striking platform at the proximal end. In profile, the scraper has two convex sides which meet at the distal end, with the flat striking platform at the proximal end. The convex ventral face is formed by a bulb of percussion with a bulbar scar at the proximal end, and gentle ripples of the conchoidal fracture visible towards the distal end. There are some fractures on the perimeter of the ventral face, b…
