Record ID: PUBLIC-E9DF0C
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A incomplete possibly Late Paleolithic uncertain tool - possible a knife or scraper dating from circa 100,000 to 10,000 BC.. The tool is sub-oval in plan with a straight edge on one end - possibly a break. The dorsal surface has a roughly central ridge curving to the left at the rounded end, with an inverted y-shaped ridge at the straight end. The ventral surface is smooth, with the bulb of percussion at the straight end. The edges appear retouched to all except the straight (broken) end. The colour is mainly white with grey and brown marks, and it is not opaque. The object is 72.02mm…

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Paleolithic uncertain tool - possibly a scraper dating from circa 200,000 to 10,000 BC.. The tool is sub-oval in plan with an area of cortex at one end. The dorsal surface has a roughly central ridge with a shorter ridge to the side. The ventral surface is smooth and slightly dished, with the bulb of percussion at the opposite end to the cortex. The edges appear retouched to all except the cortex. The colour is mainly white with red andgrey marks and a red oval area runs along the central ridge, and it is not opaque. The object is 66.53 mm long, 36.10mm wide & 11.71mm thick…

Record ID: PUBLIC-8B54B5
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Medway
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper formed on a flake struck from the cortex of a nodule of marbled brown flint. The striking platform and bulb of percussion have been removed and the plan of the piece has been given bilateral symmetry by abrupt and semi-abrupt removals at the margin.The useable scraper edge runs around all but the back of the tool; which is blunted for a good grip. Another cortical scraper with deliberate symmetry and attention to forming a good hold found in this deposit is CORN-672020, (655.2).

Record ID: PUBLIC-672020
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Medway
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A scraper made on a very stout hard hammer struck cortical flake from the end of a nodule of Bullhead flint. It is distinguished by its' greenish cortex( albeit still stained by algae on this specimen) and orangey brown outer layer to the flint inside. The scraper retouch around the distal end is abrupt and just enough to remove the cortex. It is more regular than edge damage and forms 3 straight edges. Further flakes around the periphery appear to have been removed for aesthetic reasons to improve bilateral symmetry. This feature is on another cortical scraper found in this deposit(6…
