Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint implement, probably Neolithic to Bronze Age in date. The flint is a grey colour with small white and black patches. There are also some patches of the cortex remaining. It is a large core which has had flakes taken off all over, one end has been worked in particular. This end has a sub-rectangular extension with a rounded end and has been worked on all edges. This extension could be used as a tool, perhaps a borer or something similar.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint thumbnail scraper of Neolithic date (3450-2350). The lithic is sub-ovate in plan and plano-covex in section. The dorsal surface has multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises and hinged flake removal at the proximal end. The distal, left and right hand edges have short parallel flaking and abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has five negative scars and corresponding arrises. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is dark grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 24.10mm, Width: 26.56mm, Thickness: 12.45m…
