A flint scraper likely of mesolithic to early Neolithic date (c.9000 - 3300 BC), utilising an earlier flake. Description: The scraper is sub-triangular in shape with a wider outter slighlty concave edge, an inner convex edge and a wide body. It is formed from a tertiary flake. There is retouch along the convex edge bifacially worked formed by short very regular scaled semi-abrupt removals. The short edge has some less regular short retouch creating a bit of a longer boring point. There is some more invasive retouch along the outer edge.The bulb of percussion is fairly subtle althou…

A flint scraper likely of Bronze age date (c. 2200 - 800 BC), utilising an earlier flake. Description: The scraper is sub-triangular (almost teardrop) in shape with a wider outer slightly convex edge, an inner concave edge and a wide body. It is formed from a secondary flake with some cortex remaining on the outer edge. There is retouch along the convex edge formed of short very regular scaled semi-abrupt removals. This retouch goes through flint that has begun to recorticate indicating this retouch occured a substantial amount of time after the production of the flake. The short e…

A flint scraper likely of Bronze age date (c. 2200 - 800 BC), utilising an earlier flake. Description: The scraper is sub-rectangular in shape with one slightly wider corner. It is formed from a secondary flake with some cortex remaining at the distal end. There is a retouch along the right hand edge formed of short very irregular scaled semi-abrupt removals. This retouch goes through flint that is begining to recorticate indicating this retouch occured a substantial amount of time after the production of the flake. The opposite edge has short scaled abrupt retouch which is patinat…

A near complete flint scraper likely Neolithic-Early Bronze age date (c. 4000 BC - 1000 BC). Description: The scraper is sub triangular in shape and formed from a tertiary flake. There is extensive short scaled semi-abrupt to abrupt retouch along the mesal (sides), which comes in from both the ventral and dorsal facings to create a very slightly curved point. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are very irregular and has been extensively, heavily struck and reshaped removing much of the bulb etc. The bulb of percussion and the conchoidal fractures are very pronounced which…

Neolithic (Late) to Bronze Age (early) hollow scraper, 2700 BC to 1501 BC. 39mm long, 21mm wide, 6mm thick and 5.2g in weight. Made on flint flake probably struck from a discoidal core. The dorsal face exhibits numerous unidirectional flake scars. The left ventral face has been semi-abruptly retouched to form a hollow scraper. The flint was a translucent caramel brown that has now turned mid grey in colour through patination.
