Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of probable later prehistoric date, c. 3,300-800 BC. Worked from a primary flake of grey-brown flint, with cortex covering all of those areas not exhibiting retouch. Crude removals struck from the proximal end have thinned the flake, removing the bulb of percussion. Short, semi-abrupt, scalar retouch is exhibited around the perimeter of the dorsal face, with the exception of the proximal end. Dimensions: length 41.7mm; width 45.2mm; thickness 12.5mm; weight 30.26g. It is impossible to date a single undiagnostic flint with confidence, however the crude knappin…

A fragment from a Post-Medieval copper alloy spur, probably dating to c. 1600-1850. The surviving fragment consists of a section of one arm, this is subrectangular in plan, tapering slaightly towards one end and with a squat, lozengiform cross section. It is undecorated, terminating in old breaks at either end. Dimensions: length 55.1mm; width 15.2mm; thickness 5.5mm; weight 20.36g.
