County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Neolithic to early Bronze Age thumbnail scraper dating to c 2500-1500 BC. It is likely to be a tertiary flake as there does not appear to be any evidence of the original cortex, although the scraper is now completely recorticated and the patina is creamy white. It is broadly D-shaped. There is evidence of the bulb of percussion and concoidal rings on the ventral face. Around the curve of the dorsal face, there is short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch. The thumbnail scraper weighs 4.96g measuring 22.7mm in length, 28.32mm in width and 9.31mm in thickness.

A Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age scraper, dating to the period 2500 BC-1500 BC. It is a primary flake, with almost all of the dorsal face covered by the light brown cortex, and broadly triangular in shape. This cortex is light brown in colour, and all that remains of the dorsal face aside from the cortex is a dark brown-grey. In total, the scraper measures 54.94mm in length, 39.22mm wide and 9.35mm thick. There is possibly some short, scaled retouching on the right hand edge of the dorsal face. The ventral face is quite smooth, with no bulb of percussion, and is a dark grey-brown …
