A complete probable Bronze Age flint scraper (c. 3500 BC - 800 BC). This implement is made on a primary flake. The striking platform and bulb of percussion are apparent on the ventral face. A small number of bulb scars are also visible. The dorsal face is partially covered with a light brown cortex. There are signs of retouching arlong the distal and medial edges. The removals are mainly long, scaled and low angled. The overall dimensions are as follows: 30.07mm in length, 20.75mm in width, 13mm in thickness and 8.63g in weight.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete knapped lithic implement of the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period, probably dating from c. 2400 BC - c. 1600 BC. The object is probably a secondary flake removed from a larger core, and then subjected to further working, and was probably used as a scraper tool. The object is broadly D shaped in plan and broadly triangular in section. On the ventral face the striking platform is evident at the base of the proximal end, there is a small bulb of percussion and shallow, but clear, conchoidal ripple marks on the surface, suggestive of the use of a soft hammer when strik…

A flint thumbnail (horseshoe) scraper of later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date (2300 -1800BC). The scraper is broad and largely oval in plan and sub-oval shape in profile. The scraper is formed from a mottled light and dark grey coloured piece of flint. This aesthetic quality may have made this particular flint desirable to the original owner. The tool has been created on a thick secondary flake. The scraper includes a semi-circular light brown coloured section of cortex on the ventral surface, at the proximal end. The dorsal surface bares invasive, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch/sec…

A worked flint tool, probably an early Bronze Age plano-convex knife. The striking platform is clearly visible where the blade was struck from its core, and there is a clear bulb of percussion and bulb scar on the ventral face of the flint, caused by the pressure when struck. The flint has been subject to invasive pressure flaking on the dorsal face, although this does not extend to cover the whole face and is limited to the tip and edges of the flint. A small amount of flaking has occurred from the ventral face, but this is limited to a few flakes. The tool measures 47.5 mm long, 24.…

Knapped flint scraper on a re-used primary flake. Possibly bronze age in date. Mass: 9.3g; length: 25.8mm; width: 27.1mm; thickness: 12.3mm. Gray/brown coloured flint. Dorsal face is approximately 50% cortex, with retouch around approximately 75% of the edge. There is a white patina covering the ventral face. A similar patina is evident on the dorsal face, although where the flake has been retouched, the (unpatinated) brown/grey flint is evident – indicating that this scraper is manufactured from a re-used flake.
