County: Calderdale
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper, probably a thumb nail scraper of the Beaker period, about 2400 BC - 2200 BC. It is formed on a tertiary flake of dark grey flint, partially patinated to a light grey on the ventral face. It is oval, longer than it is wide, and is invasively worked. All the edges have invasive, abrupt, scaled retouch leaving only the centre of the dorsal face as a concave previous removal scar. It is 30.1mm long, 22.8mm wide and 9.7mm thick. 7.6g.

County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crudely flaked thumb nail scraper made on a tertiary flake of grey flint with a thick white patina. The scraper retains the remnant of a wide striking platform and low bulb of percussion at the proximal end. There is a remnant of flake removal scars on the dorsal face. There is large, abrupt, parallel retouch round the 75 % of curved outer edge, which has been struck from the ventral face. Dimensions: Diameter; 32.78 mm Thickness: 12.85 mm Weight: 16.59 g Date: Early Bronze Age c. 2200 -1000 BC

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A thumbnail scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is formed on a fine, mid brown (toffee like) coloured good quality, tertiary oval shaped flake of flint. The ventral face shows the bulb and point of percussion as well as conchoidal ripples and bulbar scar; this shows that the flake was struck from a prepared striking platform. The dorsal face has several broad removals / flake facets most probably caused by other flakes being removed for tool production. Around the edges are areas of dense neat regular well applied secondary retouch . This ha…

Neolithic (Late) to Bronze Age (early) button/thumbnail scraper, 21mm long, 18mm wide, 5mm thick and 2.7g in weight. Made on a broken flake so the proximal end is missing. The left lateral edge has been semi-abruptly retouched and looks as though it has been extensively worn. The dorsal face is mostly cortical apart from a small unidirectional flake scar on the left side of the face. The flint is is dark greyish brown that looks caramel when held to the light.

Neolithic (Late) to Bronze Age (early) button/thumbnail scraper, 20mm long, 27mm wide, 7mm thick and 4.4g in weight. Made on a small flake removed from a small pebble. The entire dorsal face is a flake scar from a previous removal from the pebble. The butt is therefore cortical. The piece exhibits semi-abrupt retouch around the edge and is almost entirely on the dorsal face apart from a small notched area on the ventral surface. This perhaps makes this a multiple tool instead. The flint is of translucent grey to toffee brown although the area around the bulb on the ventral face has st…

Neolithic (Late) to Bronze Age (early) button/thumbnail scraper, 25mm long, 27mm wide, 12mm thick and 7.7g in weight. This small circular flake possesses semi-abrupt retouch around the entire edge from butt to butt. The retouch position is on the dorsal face and there is some cortex remaining on the dorsal surface. Flake scars indicate unipolar/directional flaking and the flint is semi-translucent. The butt was dihedral.
