A flint end scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a tertiary flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform and below this on the ventral surface is a bulb of percussion and bulbar scar. Ripples radiate down the ventral surface. On the dorsal surface there are three main flaking scars. The distal end has been retouched. The mottled pinkish-grey flint has a low gloss patina. Dimensions: 56mm by 27.2mm by 9.6mm Weight: 16.3g

An incomplete flint end scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a tertiary flake. At the proximal end are the striking platform and bulb of percussion. Ripples radiate down the ventral surface and there are a number of flaking scars on the dorsal surface. The distal end has been retouched, although part of this has broken off. The resulting notch reflects damage rather than deliberate working. The dark brown flint has a mid-gloss patina. Dimensions: 22.6mm by 29.6mm by 5.2mm Weight: 3.4g

County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable broken flint end scraper/piercer of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The surviving portion appears to be approximately just under half of the original scraper. At the proximal end on the ventral surface is part of the bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. Faint ripples radiate down the ventral surface. The proximal end has been coarsely retouched. After the scraper had snapped it appears that the broken distal end was retouched to form a piercer. Dimensions: 53.3mm by 26mm by 13.6mm Weight: 13.1g

A flint side and end scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of slightly mottled mid-brownish-grey flint. It is fresh and near complete (most of the proximal end including the bulb of percussion has snapped off). The pronouced ripples on the ventral surface suggest the use of a hard hammer. The dorsal surface of the distal end and one lateral side have been retouched. The retouch is short and semi-abrupt to abrupt. Dimensions: 54.1mm by 43mm by 9.8mm Weight: 23.7g

Worked flint side scraper, made from a secondary flake. The dorsal face has a central ridge running its length. To the right of this, the majority of the dorsal face is corticated. To the left is a long flaking scar, with two smaller ones at the promimal end. The left edge of the dorsal face has short semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral face is slightly convex. The flint is dark brown-grey with a light-grey patch on the ventral face at the bulb of purcussion. The object is probably of Neolithic to Bronze Age date.

Composite flint tool of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date, with a scraper on one side and borer on the other. The ventral face is smooth, but uneven. It has a prominent bulb of percussion on the left-hand side, before becoming concave towards the centre. The dorsal face has seven large flaking scars running from one end to the other. The right-hand side has abrupt, short to long, scaled removals allowing it to be used as a scraper. Whilst the left-hand side has a borer formed from two flaking scars, with a small amount of further retouch in a few places. The colour of the flint ra…
