A large Neolithic thumb scraper, which has been elaborately worked. The scraper has a plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is oval in overall shape. It has been formed from a light whitish-grey flint, with creamy-white flaws within the flake matrix. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident. There is a steep arrise along the spine of the dorsal surface. The upper end of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint tool, a borer probably dating from the Neolithic period. The tool is basically rectangular in plan with a triangular pointed projection in the centre of one long side (the distal end). There is cortex remaining on the right side of the proximal end. This makes it tool formed on a secondary flake. The borer is 55.45mm long x 34.63mm wide x 20.80mm thick. The width is reduced to 16.44mm half way down the length due to retouching to form the pointed projection, and there is more steep retouching at its point. This point would have been used to bore holes like a modern awl. It wei…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint implement, hardly patinated, probably an early Neolithic laurel-leaf shaped flint arrowhead (comp. Bond 2004, fig. 5.120). The object is in very good condition and hardly patinated. It was knapped from brown opaque, translucent flint and shows retouch on both ventral and dorsal faces as well as around the edges. The flint is gently curved and one edge seems to bear more retouch marks than the other. This suggests that although having the correct shape for a laurel-leaf shaped arrowhead, it could also have been a scraper and of slightly later Neolithic or even Early Bronze Age da…

A Neolithic flint scraper (3500-2100 BC). The scraper has been manufactured from a tertiary flake with no cortex remaining. There is a well-defined bulb of percussion and remains of a prepared striking platform. The ripples of percussion can be seen below the bulb of percussion. There is some secondary retouch around two-thirds of the cutting edge of the flake, indicating that this scraper may have been used as a thumb scraper.
