A complete knapped / worked flint scraper, of Late Neolithic dating (2900 BC to 2000 BC). The scraper is broadly semi circular in plan and rectangular in cross section being formed from a tertiary flake; possibly debitage. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a series of irregular flake scars suggesting that this piece has been removed from a larger flake and been subsequently reused. The striking platform and the bulb of percussion are no longer present on the lower / ventral face, having been removed by a hinge fracture. The edges of the dorsal face have all be retouch…

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint barbed and tanged arrowhead dating from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period of 2500 - 1500 BC. The arrowhead is 27mm long and 25mm wide. It has pointed tangs and a fairly square end to the tang. It may be a Sutton type. It is invasively retouched and has been carefully worked. The flint is a light orangey grey colour and appears to be completely patinated. Barbed and tanged arrowheads are frequently found in graves containing Beaker vessels. This example is complete, but it is more normal to find damage to one or both of the barbs ('Prehistoric Flintwork' by Butler, …

A discoidal invasively retouched flint scraper which is probably Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age in date. The scraper is sub-circular and is 38.1mm long, 37mm wide and 9.6mm thick. It is invasively worked apart from the proximal end which is cortical. There is semi abrupt retouch on the distal end and sides. The flint is mid grey in colour and is hardly patinated. High quality discoidal scrapers are commonly found associated with Bronze Age burials and may have had a ritual function (‘Prehistoric Flintwork by Butler, 2005), but this example, though finely made, is not of the same …

A discoidal flint scraper dating from the Neolithic period. It is 41mm in diameter and 12.1mm thick. It weighs 17.37gm. The flint is dark grey and opaque. There is a striking platform at the proximal end, but the rest of the convex edges are retouched with semi-abrupt and abrupt removals. There are also some invasive removals. There are some chips in the edge which are later damage. Similar scrapers can be seen in figure 53 of “Prehistoric Flintwork” by Butler (2005).
