Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of the Bronze Age. The scraper is oval in plan, crescentic in profile, and plano-convex in cross-section; it is 37 mm in length, 33 mm in width, 14 mm in thickness and 16.36 g in weight. Made on a tertiary flake of fine-textured dark grey flint with pale grey inclusions, derived from a local beach pebble. The smooth ventral face is concave with slight traces of conchoidal rippling; the striking platform and bulb of percussion are missing. The dorsal face is scarred by the removal of several earlier flakes; the proximal end has been crushed and damaged by multiple p…

A later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age flint end and side scraper. The scraper is sub-oval on plan and plano-convex in both profile and section it is 41.5 mm in length, 24 mm in width, 11.5 mm thick and 12.15 g in weight. The scraper is made on a secondary flake of partly translucent grey-brown flint which contains a large pale brown chert-like inclusion and probably derives from a local beach pebble; a patch pf sand-coloured cortex remains on its dorsal face. The bulb of percussion and large bulbar scar are clearly visible at the proximal end of the ventral face. On the dorsal side th…

A flint end scraper and blade, 41.5 mm long, 22 mm maximum width, 5 mm thick and 5.9 g in weight. Made on a tertiary flake, sub-triangular in plan, an elongated rectangle in profile and plano-convex in section. The remnant of the striking platform is visible at the proximal end with a small bulb of percussion and radiating conchoidal ripples on the ventral face. The distal end has been sharpened by the removal of 5 or 6 steep pressure flakes to produce a scraper edge. A flake has been removed from the right margin of the dorsal face to produce a notch close to the distal end and the l…

Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A crude flint end scraper, sub-oval in plan, plano-convex in profile and triangular in section. Made on a primary flake with a layer of cortex remaining on the whole of the dorsal surface. A small bulb of percussion is visible at the proximal end of the ventral face, adjacent to a clear point of percussion. There is a sharp change of angle on the ventral face about 12 mm from the point of percussion, representing the intersection between the face of the flake and the remnant of an earlier flake removal. Several steep, shallow flakes have been removed from the dorsal face at its margin…

Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end-and-side scraper, lenticular in plan, trapezoidal in profile and plano-convex in section. A primary flake, wider than it is high, with cortex remaining on almost the entire dorsal face. The point of percussion is clearly visible in the centre of the proximal margin of the ventral face. There is a large bulb of percussion together with a small bulbar scar. The fracturing of the flake has produced an upturned edge around the distal end of the dorsal face, which is ideal for producing a scraper. Between eight and ten narrow vertical pressure flakes have been removed at this p…

The distal end of a broken flint end and side scraper, plano-convex in plan, rhomboidal in profile and triangular in section. The proximal half of the tool is missing, having been broken off in antiquity, and the ventral face is slightly concave in profile. The entire length of the remaining, curved edge has been retouched by the removal of many small, steep flakes on the dorsal face, suggesting that both margins of the dorsal face would have been worked further down their lengths. The facets of the resulting scraper edge have been worn smooth through use. The flint is a mottled light…

Object type: END SCRAPER
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Flint short end and side scraper, triangular in plan, flat and trapezoidal in profile and triangular in section. The distal end and right edge of the dorsal face are unimarginally reworked. Some of the cortex remains on the left edge of the dorsal face. The flint is slightly translucent and dark brown-grey in colour. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2. Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples of end scrapers on page 56, Fig.5.22, No.L5; page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F112; and page 154, Fig.5.138, No.19, which are dated to the Early Bronze Age.

Flint short end and side scraper, ovate in plan, flat and sub-rectangular in profile and triangular in section. The distal end and right edge of the dorsal face are unimarginally reworked. There is also a notch a third of the way along from the distal end on the left edge of the ventral side, but this may have been produced by more recent damage. The flint is a mottled light grey colour, with iron-staining on the surface of both faces, and probably was knapped from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is 3:2. Bond illustrates similar examples of end scrapers…
