Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 3500 - 2100 BC. The implement is an end scraper formed on a tertiary flake. It is sub-rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. The bulb of percussion and bulbar scars remain on the ventral surface from which ripples of percussion radiate, probably produced by soft hammer technique. The dorsal surface has two flake removals and the distal edge has abrupt, short sub-parallel retouch and may have been used as a scraper or blade. The flint is a light brown colour. The implement is 37.4mm long, 17.9mm wide, 6.7mm thick …

This is due to a small number of retouched areas on the surface. On the dorsal side, there are multiple arrises as a result of the knapping process as well as heavy retouching all the left, right and distal edges. There is no …
