Record ID: PUBLIC-F370C8
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
End scraper worked on a flake of grey translucent flint with opaque cream inclusions. It appears to have been a plunging flake from a core as there are parallel scars on the dorsal surface with a hinged termination to one of them. The end scraper scars are parallel and semi-abrupt and work around on to the right margin and finish with a sharp notch. Shaunie found a large deeply concave section granite saddle quern fragment nearby.(632B.1). Butler illustrates a similar end scraper on page 166, fig 70, 5.

Record ID: PUBLIC-CD1676
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thick pebble cortical flake of marbled light and dark grey flint. The distal end has been abruptly flaked as an end and some finer retouch continues part way down the left margin as a side scraper.. This simply made expedient tool does not easily fit a particular age. Mesolithic to Bronze age tools are found nearby. Butler illustrates a cortical end scraper on page 126, fig 50, 8.

Record ID: PUBLIC-CCBB76
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thick pebble cortical flake of marbled light and dark grey with brown filaments. The distal and proximal ends have been utilised as scraper edges with shallow sharpening flakes removed from the straight edged proximal end and the distal cortex broken away to form a similarly straight edge. This simply made expedient tool does not easily fit a particular age. Mesolithic to Bronze age tools are found nearby. Butler illustrates some Later Bronze Age scrapers on page 184, fig 75 1-4.

Record ID: PUBLIC-DB4DE0
Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An end scraper on a soft hammer struck flake off the cortex of a mid grey flint pebble. The distal facet has been slightly flaked to make an end scraper with use indicated by gloss on the dorsal surface beginning at the left distal corner.Butler(2005) illustrates later Bronze age pieces on page 186 of which the slightly retouched flakes 6 and 7 are the closest examples.
