Object type: THUMB NAIL SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Wakefield
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint thumbnail scraper. This flint is a short and broad tool, following the late Neolithic transition from altering blades, to using more chunky pieces of flint with abrupt retouch. The retouch is on the sides and distal edges. There are also flaking scars on the dorsal face. It has a white patina with some brown inclusions and feels grainy, maybe being chert rather than flint. It measures 20.23mm x 21.26mm x 7.89mm thick, weighing 3.73g. This flint is late Neolithic or Bronze Age in date. For an example see Chris Butler’s ‘Prehistoric flintwork’, fig. 70.1,2.

County: Bedford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint rod of probable late Neolithic date (see Butler 2005: 133, no. 4 for parallel). An interesting feature of this tool is the fact that it has been ground and polished on both sides, along one edge. This suggests that it has been fashioned from a broken polished axe. The tool is of lozenge-shaped section. Both surfaces demonstrate flake removal scars which angle down from the central ridge, although there are fewer on the polished side, where the contour of the original axe has been followed. This is also true of the polished edge, which is largely untouched, unlike the opposit…

A fragmentary copper-alloy sheet object: probably a strap-fitting of late Roman date. What survives is a broadly L-shaped, the terminal end of which appears intact. The terminal is sub-rectangular, with cusped corners with a trefoil appearance as a result of incisions on the upper surface. The end between the corners has received some removals making it rounded. In from each corner is a neat circular perforation, probably a rivet hole, Between these holes is a punched ring-and-dot motif; there are further motifs above each hole. On each, the dot has been punched through. On one the …
