The object is a rounded scraper formed from a secondary flake which is sub-ovate in plan and section. The ventral surface is irregular with some removals. The dorsal surface displays semi-abrupt retouch extending around 60% of distal end and sides.
The flint is a dark grey colour with a light brown cortex on the dorsal surface. The implement is 42.7mm long, 31.8mm wide, 10.2mm thick and weighs 15.1g.
Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than other artefact types. They had many different functions as they were very useful tools and were employed, for example, for skinning animals, removing the fatty deposit from hinds and much more.99-4000-23004YORYM2023-07-18T00:00:00ZYMT : E073462024-01-22T14:37:31Z2024-02-13T16:08:12Z15.1PAS65AE7DAB001CCA10.231.842.7110144241430220282107721291North YorkshireRyedaleKirby GrindalytheSE886454.06443732-0.65692075bands.shops.handy10YORYM-E7E5D1Flint10837Knapped/flakedCompleteNEOLITHICx14337NEOLITHICx14337x14337Chance find during metal detectingReturned to finderYORYM-E7DABC_65cb93cb28a32.jpg1263077images/bmorris/Yorkshire and the HumberCertain12024-02-13T16:08:12.44Zfinds-11464541146454YORYM-E7C604SCRAPER (TOOL)NEOLITHICA complete knapped lithic implement of probable Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC.

The gun-flint is formed from a tertiary flake of translucent mid-grey flint. It is rectangular in both shape and cross-section though the section is irregular and tapers from one end to the other.
The object is 23.74mm long, 17.89mm wide, 5.82mm thick and weighs 3.81g.
The flintlock was introduced in the late 16th century and became the main regulation firearm for the British Army during the reign of William III. The knapped flint was used within the musket mechanism to produce a spark and could last between 20-25 shots before it had to be replaced.
A similar example has been recorded as WILT-0B6F58 which states that "there is no documentary evidence for when or where sparks from flint were first used to fire gunpowder, but flintlock guns were being used in France from about 1600. There is a written record of an order received by London gunsmiths in 1661 to provide 15,000 'flintstones cutt' for the garrisons in Tangier and Ireland. This gunflint may have been associated with the local activity during the Civil War, but they continued being used throughout the 19th century, especially during the Napoleonic Wars".3636160019004YORYMYMT : E072472023-11-29T15:44:16Z2024-01-26T09:49:28Z3.81PAS65675C5000195B5.8217.8923.74110144241430220282151621490North YorkshireHarrogateSpofforth with StockeldSE365253.96283588-1.45278752bands.shops.handy10YORYM-75C8D6Flint10837Knapped/flakedCompletePOST MEDIEVALx41047POST MEDIEVALx41047x41047Chance find during metal detectingReturned to finder1140221_6579b5ac7497a.jpg1253641images/adamrivettpas/Yorkshire and the HumberCertain12024-01-26T09:49:28.041Zfinds-11364951136495YORYM-A29D98MICROLITHMESOLITHICA complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC.
The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.

The object has been manufactured on a large hard-hammer flake and is sub-spatulate in plan and bi-convex in section. This tool has short, scaled abrupt retouch on one lateral edge. The flint tapers to form a projecting distal spur. The proximal edge is blunted. The ventral surface is slightly convex, shallow ripples of percussion emanating from the distal end.
The flint is an opaque light grey in colour with cream inclusions and considerable areas of cortex re-growth. The borer is 40.05mm in length, 26.01mm in width and 8.87mm in thickness. It weighs 9.64g.
This is probably a piercer that would have been used in a twisting motion backwards and forwards to create a hole and would have been used on tougher materials than an awl. Piercers are known to be made on a variety of flake sizes from small to very large flakes. Similar to tools on page 168-169 of Butler's Prehistoric Flintwork (2005), indicating a possible later Neolithic date.

It is bifacially worked with invasive stepped semi-abrupt and low angle retouch present across the dorsal and ventral surfaces.
The flint is a mid-grey colour. The implement is 27.31mm long, 27.04mm wide, 7.45mm thick and weighs 5.16g.91321-2700-16004YORYM2022-06-23T00:00:00ZYMT : E071792023-08-18T10:16:13Z2023-08-23T14:44:10Z5.16PAS64DF36DD0014777.4527.0427.31110144341430220282121221291North YorkshireRyedaleWintringhamSE877454.15445754-0.6693215bands.shops.handy10YORYM-F36E2AFlint10837Knapped/flakedCompleteNEOLITHICx14337MiddleEarlyBRONZE AGEx13712x14337FieldwalkingReturned to finderABK0048.jpg1238844images/adamrivettpas/Yorkshire and the HumberCertain12023-08-23T13:44:10.663Zfinds-11254111125411YORYM-F30BECSCRAPER (TOOL)NEOLITHICComplete lithic implement formed from a flint flake, dating to late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, c. 2700 - 1600 BC.
The implement is a scraper, formed from a tertiary flake, which is roughly square in plan and D-shaped in section. It is bifacially worked with extentsive retouch on the dorsal face. The ventral surface features percussion lines with instances of invasive retouch or damage which may have been caused during its removal from a core. The dorsal surface displays covering scaled abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch.
The flint is a mottled-brown colour and lacks any pebble cortex; suggesting the implement was manufactured from a tertiary flake. The implement is 30.94mm long, 29.52mm wide, 7.93mm thick and weighs 8.89g.
Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than other artefact types. They had many different functions as they were very useful tools and were employed, for example, for skinning animals, removing the fatty deposit from hinds and much more.9131-2700-16004YORYM2022-06-23T00:00:00ZYMT : E071792023-08-18T09:50:06Z2023-08-23T14:43:36Z8.89PAS64DF30BE001C6C7.9329.5230.94110144341430220282121221291North YorkshireRyedaleWintringhamSE877454.15445754-0.6693215bands.shops.handy10YORYM-F31E5AFlint10837Knapped/flakedCompleteNEOLITHICx14337EarlyBRONZE AGEx13712x14337FieldwalkingReturned to finderABK0047.jpg1238843images/adamrivettpas/Yorkshire and the HumberCertain12023-08-23T13:43:36.936Zfinds-11253831125383YORYM-E38334SCRAPER (TOOL)NEOLITHICA complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC.

The object is a serrated blade or saw which is broadly oval in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth with visible ripples of percussion. Both edges of the dorsal surface feature short, stepped, low-angle retouch which create saw tooth serrated edges along the entire length.
The flint is an orange-brown colour with occasional lighter and darker inclusions. The lack of pebble cortex suggests that this object was formed from an inner (tertiary) flake. The object is 36.35mm long, 18.37mm wide, 5.64mm thick and weighs 3.41g.
Serrated blades such as this are common on Mesolithic and early Neolithic sites.691-7000-35004YORYMYMT : E071552023-08-09T11:35:55Z2023-08-23T14:24:56Z3.41PAS64D36C0B001A305.6418.3736.3511014434143025635448225635East Riding of YorkshireEast Riding of YorkshireHolme upon Spalding MoorSE823253.77788517-0.75714039bands.shops.handy10YORYM-36C11DFlint10837Knapped/flakedCompleteMESOLITHICx14235EarlyNEOLITHICx14337x14235FieldwalkingReturned to finderAC0102.jpg1238993images/adamrivettpas/Yorkshire and the HumberCertain12023-08-23T13:24:56.72Z
