A knapped flint discoidal scraper or knife of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (2900 - 1600 BC). The scraper is broadly oval in plan and lentoid in cross section, formed from a teritary flake. The upper / dorsal face of the scraper exhibits a central ridge. The lower / ventral surface exhibits a series of irregular and uncontrolled flake scars, suggesting movement and damage in the plough soil. The edges of the scraper demonstrates signs of retouch with indirect percussion. Some are uncontrolled in nature, but others are well spaced and neat, creating a serrated edge. Little…

A tertiary debitage flake with retouch around the edges, to form an ovate scraper (tool), of Neolithic date (2900 BC - 1600 BC). It is sub triangular in plan, and semi-circular in cross section. It consists of a tertiary debitage flake. Along the lower edges, there are signs of regular controlled retouch, indicating reuse as a scraper (tool). Other than the retouch, there is no signs of working such as a bulb of percussion or conchoidal ripples. It has been made out of a honey coloured flint, with an opaque surface patination. This patination occurs through being…

Two struck debitage / waste flakes of mid brown coloured flint that have been retouched to form irregular multi sided scrapers, probably of later Neolithic date (2500 to 2000 BC). One flake is roughly rectangular in plan and demonstrates small facets along the edges of the dorsal (upper) face. This probable scraper has been manufactured from a secondary debitage flake, as there is a small amount (less than 25% of surface area) of cortex (outer rind) present . The dorsal (upper) surface demonstrates a series of flint flake facets in various directions. The ventral (lower) surfce demons…

A Flint scraper of probable Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age Date (2500 - 1500 BC). The flint flake is almost semi-circular in shape and oval in cross section. There are a series of uncontrolled fractures and plough roll along the edge of the scraper. There is a small amount of cortex (outer rind) present, less than 25%. The upper face (dorsal) demonstrates several ridges and fracture scars whereas the lower face (ventral) demonstrates conchoidal ripples. It measures 35.66mm length, 22.38mm width, 9.77mm thick and weighs 8.7 grams.

A retouched scraper formed from a tertiary debitage / waste flake of Neolithic date (2900 - 2100 BC). It is sub oval in plan and D-shaped in cross section. The proximal end demonstrates a striking platform, with conchoidal ripples radiating down the vental (lower) face of the flake. The dorsal (upper) surface exhibits a clear central ridge, with a series of controlled flaking scars along the edge of the flake. There is evidence of uncontrolled flaking scars, probably the result of movement in the soil. The flint is a mid grey colour. It measures 32.76mm length, 34.04mm width, 9.88mm t…

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…

An incomplete flint hollow scraper, of probable Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age dating (3300 BC to 1000 BC). The scraper is irregular in shape, with a triangular cross section. It consists of a wider end, which then narrows to a thinner square end. A deliberate circular notch has been taken out of one side, with abrupt, short, acute retouch around it and along the edge below it. A small amount of cortex is present at the wide end. It measures 40.7 mm in length, a maximum width of 15.3 mm and 6.1 mm thick. It weighs 3.2 g. The flint is a mid to dark grey colour, with little…

A tertiary debitage flake with retouch around the edges, to form an ovate scraper (tool), of Late Neolithic date (2500 BC - 1600 BC). It is sub triangular in plan, and semi-circular in cross section. It consists of a tertiary debitage flake. Along the lower edges, there are signs of regular controlled retouch, indicating reuse as a scraper (tool). The bulb of percussion has been lost, but the point is still presnet, suggesting that it was struck at an angle. Hinge fractures are present at the base, suggesting a low quality flint was used with several natural flaws in the matrix.…
