Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9,000-2100 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars. Both the proximal and distal ends are abruptly blunted. The left- and right-hand edges have rough semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length: 38.27mm, Width: 13.86mm, Thickness: 6.47mm, Weight: 3.0g The flint is light brown and cream in colour.

Object type: CORE
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete possible utilised Core Rejuvenation flake of Mesolithic date (9,000-3,450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex and has four predominant negative scars, one of which is a deep hinged flake removal at the distal end. The distal edge is flat and forms a portion of the striking platform. There is some retouch to the left- and right-hand edges which indicates the flake was reused. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with the exception of two negative scars. Length: 83.79mm, Width: 31.94mm, Thickness:…
