Record ID: YORYM-90723A
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile and plano in section. The dorsal surface retains a large amount of cortex along the mesial portion and has short, parallel flaking and semi-abrupt retouch along the distal edge. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is smooth with shallow ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. The lithic retains a large amount of cortex and is therefore a primary flake.
The flint is dark grey, the cortex is a mid-cream in colour.

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile and bi-concave in section. The dorsal surface retains a minor amount of cortex along the proximal edge and has partial, parallel flaking. All edges contain fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface retains cortex along its distal end and has two predominant negative scars. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.
The flint is dark grey in colour, the cortex is a light blueish grey in colour.

Record ID: YORYM-8FD5AA
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains four predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The distal end of the lithic is composed of retained cortex. The proximal end has been abruptly blunted, all other edges contain regular, fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth with minor negative scars resulting from the retouch to the left hand edge. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.
