Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible flint scraper of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date (c. 9600 - 2350 BC). The object is roughly trapezoidal in plan and was made from a secondary flake, given that up to 10% of the surface is covered by an area of cream coloured cortex. The flint is cream coloured. There appears to be a platform, a blub of percussion, and some bulb scars on the proximal edge of the ventral face, as well as there being ridges on the dorsal face. There may be some slight  abrupt retouch on the distal edge of the dorsal face. Dimensions. Length: 24.19mm. Width: 29.97mm. Thickness: 8…

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dudley
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Neolithic (c. 4000 B.C. – c. 2350 B.C.) combination tool, comprising a backed knife, scraper and a worked point. Manufactured on a secondary flake of un-patinated dark grey flint.

The opposing edge, used for cutting, has utilisation wear along its length. The proximal end has the bulb of percussion and has been modified to produce a worked point. Abrupt retouch around the distal end has resulted in a small end scraper. Overal…
