Record ID: OXON-B29187
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end-scraper made on a thick flake of a brown-orange flint. The scraper is sub-square in plan and broadly rectangular in profile, although the large bulb is retained on the reverse. There has been some recortication of the scraper, with this extending over the hard hammer retouching on the right side of the distal end. There are more modern removals (cutting through the patina of the recortication) to the left hand edge. This piece is hard to date as its execution is generally undiagnostic, however it is potentially Palaeolithic (c. 450,000-10,000 BC).

A flint end-scraper of probable Neolithic date (c. 4000-2500 BC). The scraper has been made on a tertiary crested blade of a mottled grey to orange brown flint. The distal end has soft-hammer retouch to the dorsal side, with some more haphazard reoutching (potentially of later date) to the left hand dorsal edge. There is also some modern damage evident.
