Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic date (9,000-3,450 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has covering scaled flaking. The proximal and distal ends have been blunted. All edges with the exception of the proximal have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave with shallow ripples of percussion emanating from small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. There is a single shallow negative scar on the bulb of percussion. The lithic retain no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.

Record ID: KENT-44471F
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint scraper of uncertain age and unclassified type, likely Mesolithic to early Bronze Age (9000-1000BC)
Description: The scraper is formed from a half crescent shaped secondary flake, with a blunted point (the striking platform). The tool is roughly triangular in cross-section. Invasive semi-abrupt retouch has occurred on the outer edge, creating a crude saw edge. The inside edge has short scaled abrupt retouch. The flint is mid grey-brown with some brighter mottling.
Measurements: The object is 49.93mm long, 22.41mm wide, 5.01mm thick and 5.11g in weight.

Object type: BORER
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint borer of Mesolithic date (c. 9000-3500 BC).
Description: The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The left hand side of the dorsal surface contains a small number of short, parallel removals done at a semi-abrupt angle. The distal end appears to have been abruptly blunted with a worked point for boring. The ventral surface is concave with ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. There are shallow flakes situated along the proximal and right hand edges. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flak…

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worked flint fragment, 41.5mm in length, which is narrow and tapers to a point. One side is curved with parallel removal scars; the other side comprises three facets in a trapezoidal arrangment giving the whole a thick lozengiform cross section.

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Mesolithic flint tranchet axehead dating to circa 10000-4000 BC. It is broadly rectangular in plan and profile. The long edges are roughly parallel with the blade. The dorsal face has a central ridge or spine running longitudinally from the butt to the to the tranchet flake. Coarse flaking covers both sides of the axehead. The blade has been formed by the removal of a final flake transversely across the dorsal face known as a tranchet flake. Partial cortex remains at the butt end. The lower half of the tool shows a dark colour whilst the upper half …

County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint core possibly dating to the Mesolithic period, or otherwise the Neolithic period, c. 10000 - 2350 BC. A single platform bladelet core of irregular shape, but tending towards conical. Made from a piece of mottled dark grey and light grey flint with a high gloss patina. There is a small area of cortex remaining. The rest of the "conical" surface is covered in multiple bladelet removal scars. The flakes have been removed from a single prepared platform.

A fragment of a worked flint core tool, struck from a blue grey flint, 60.1mm in length. The cross section is trapezoidal with removal along both long edges on one face with a strip of buff coloured cortex retained along the centre. One end tapers slightly to a damaged cutting edge with what may have been a tranchet removal scar angled into a chisel-like tip. The other end terminates in a break across the full width. The underside is flat and unworked. The flint demonstrates white recortication from deposition in calcareous sediments along with patches of post-depositional iron st…
