Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic to early Bronze Age end scraper dating to 3300 BC - 1600 BC. Made on a thick, sub-oval secondary flake of opaque, mottled grey/brown flint with a mid-gloss patina. Cortex remains across approximately 30% of the dorsal face left side. The dorsal face shows linear blade flake removal scars and invasive, sub-parallel semi-abrupt retouch to the distal end with some finer pressure flaking at the margin. The ventral face shows no apparent bulb of percussion indicating the tool was probably made on an opportunistic waste flake. Date: Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age. D…

A late Neolithic to early Bronze Age end scraper dating to 3300 BC - 1600 BC. Made on a sub-oval tertiary flake of opaque, dark grey flint with a mid-gloss patina. The flint has is internally fractured giving a scaled appearance. There is an area of smooth bluey-white re-patination across the distal end. The dorsal face shows three flake removal scars all struck from different angles creating a central T-shaped ridge. The right side margin shows a large scaled notch which appears to have been made deliberately, it is smooth to the touch, possibly through use. The distal end shows fair…
