Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
An incomplete probable knapped mottled light to mid matte brown flint or chert scraper. The scraper is sub-oval in plan. The dorsal surface has two large, parallel negative flake scars with re-touching along the lower rounded edge. The ventral surface has a single negative flake scar which is convex, but due to a recent break the bulb of percussion and striking platform are missing. It measures 32.65mm long and 37.34mm wide. It weighs 12.5g. The scraper is probably prehistoric, possibly dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age (-3500 to -1500).

Two knapped flint flakes. The flakes are knapped from an opaque mid brown coloured flint. Each has patches of cortex remaining. One flake has small vertical scars on the dorsal surface and the ventral surface has a small bulb of percussion and concentric rings. The other flake has two vertical scars on the dorsal surface and a small bulb of percussion and concentric rings on the ventral surface. The flakes weigh 4.4g. The flake is prehistoric, probably dating to the Mesolithic or Neolithic periods (-8300 to -2100) when considering the size of the scars on the dorsal surface.
