A possible chert scraper of Mesolithic to Bronze Age, 9000 BC - 1000 BC. The possible tool is formed on a tertiary flake of black chert with a dorsal ridge. It has possible retouch on all edges which is abrupt, sub-parallel and short. The removals are not particularly uniform, casting some doubt about their intentionality. Length: 50.57mm Width: 36.33mm Thickness: 11.1mm Weight: 26.96g The thickness of the flake and abruptness of the retouch rules out use as an arrowhead, but it would be a functional scraper.

A flint scraper formed on a large blade of opaque black flint of uncertain date, 9000 BC - 1000 BC or perhaps, a blank for producing Post Medieval gun flints dating from AD 1600 - 1900. It is a tertiary hard hammer blade with a double dorsal ridge. All four edges are retouched with short, abrupt, scaled removals forming a rectangular scraper. Measurements are; length 61.7mm, width 41.1mm, thickness 10.7mm and weight 33.46g. The form is similar to Post Medieval gunflints, but much larger. It could be a blank ready to be snapped into smaller pieces to make several gunflints. Compare&nbs…

A flint probable thumb-nail scraper of probable Mesolithic date, 10000 - 4000 BC. It is an oval secondary thick flake of grey flint. The dorsal face is covered with rough removals, and half the edge has abrupt, sub-parallel, wide retouch or removals. There is cortex on the rest of the side. The ventral face is unworked and the bulb of percussion does not survive. The object appears to be a basic thumb nail scraper, which Leahy (2014) suggests are fairly common in the Mesolithic, but it could also be a completely worn out cylindrical core producing narrow blades. It is 18…
