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. The scraper…

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…

Retouched flint flake. Probably Neolithic (3500BC-2100BC). Mass: 8.7g; length: 50.8mm; width: 18.2mm; thickness: 12.4mm. Approximately 25% cortex on the dorsal face, with an arris and unidirectional negative flake scars towards the sub-triangular sectioned proximal end. The distal end has a sub-D-shaped-cross section. The tool has retouch on both edges, particularly on the more convex edge of the dorsal face. The tool may have functioned as a piercer, and its retouched sides may have been utilised for cutting and scraping.

Five prehistoric worked flints recovered from the same area. The flints are Neolithic to early Bronze Age in date. One flint is a scraper on a flake, exhibiting retouch along both lateral edges and the distal end. It measures 31.31 mm long 26.18 mm wide, 10.05 mm thick and weighs 10.1 grams. The flint used is pale to dark grey in colour. A second flake may also have been used as a scraper, and this one also has retouch along both lateral edges and its distal end. It measures 22.95 mm long, 20.95 mm wide, 5.61 mm thick and weighs 2.6 grams. The flint used is a pal…

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…

A prehistoric knapped flake, probably of Neolithic or early Bronze Age in date. The flint has a clear bulb of percussion at the proximal end as well as a striking platform. There are also negative scars on the dorsal surface where other flakes have been removed. Possibly very fine retouch is visible on the left edge, although this may have been caused by abrasion. The tip has been broken off, and judging by the even patina on the flake this seems to have occurred some time ago, although whether this occurred in prehistory is difficult to determine. The flint is a mottled ochre brown i…

A worked flint flake of prehistoric date. The flake has a clear bulb of percussion and striking plaform at the proximal end as well as a bulbar scar on the ventral face. The flake exhibits what may possibly be retouch on both left and right edges, although there is a strong possibility that this 'retouch' is the result of accidental damage caused during use of the flake as a cutting tool or even after deposition.This is suggested by its slightly irregular spacing with only small areas of both sides exhibiting retouch, along with a lack of any clear functional reason for the applicato…

A flint flake, with retouch on the distal end, possibly dating from the neolithic period (3500 BC to 2100 BC). The function of the tool is uncertain. This is a secondary flake, with approximately 10% cortex on the dorsal surface. At the proximal end is the striking platform. The ventral face has a bulb of percussion, and ripples of the conchoidal fracture run down the surface. Ripples on the dorsal surface are broadly unidirectional. Viewed in plan, the distal end is uneven. There is a projection to one side, with retouch on both sides of the distal edge (low angle of retouch,…

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…

Flint flake with probable retouch. Possibly Neolithic - Iron Age. Mass: 12.6g; length: 56mm, width: 24mm; thickness: 12mm. Brown and off-white flint. There is a conchoidal fracture radiating from a point towards the distal end of the ventral face - possibly a weak point at which the flint fractured. An aris runs down the centre of the dorsal face. There is probable retouch at the distal end, on the tip and on the prjection on one edge of the of the ventral face, and also at the proximal end. There are other scars which represent damage from the time the flake spent in the ground.
