A coarse flint end scraper of Neolithic to late prehistoric date c 4000-1 BC. Description: The scraper is produced from a primary flake with leaving the dorsal side mostly covered in cortex. The flake is sub-triangular in shape. The flaking is hard hammer producing pronounced scars and conchoidal fracturing. The bulb of percussion is very prounounced with a fissure across the top left across the conchoidal rippling. Two edges alinged towards the bulb are barely worked with on a few removals. The scraping long edge has short scaled abrupt retouch typical of end scra…

A crude flint hollow scraper, likely of late Neolithic or bronze age date c 3300-1000 BC. Description: The scraper is made from a long irregularly shaped tertiary flake. It has a narrower shaped body towards the proximal end and rounded body towards the opposite end. The scraping edge is formed by short semi-abrupt scaled retouch forming a concave arch/hollow on the left side of the dorsal face by the striking platform.

An incomplete flint end scraper of probable Mesolithic date, c.9000 - 4000 BC. Description: The scraper is formed from a secondary flake, incomplete and broken across its body. The scraper survives with a sub semi-circular shape in plan with a wide sweeping scraping edge at the right side of the curved edge The edge is formed from short scaled semi-abrupt retouch at the distal end of the flake changing to short scaled abrupt along the remaining side. The rest of the flaking appears to be limited with cortex remaining. The bulb of percussion is missing due to the break caused by …

A coarse flint scraper of uncertain date, likely Late Bronze age to Iron Age in date (c. 1200-1 BC). Description: The scraper is very roughly tirangular but irregular and dog-legs in cross section. It is formed from a secondary flake, with a obscured striking platform at the proximal end.

Description: The scraper is teardrop shaped tertiary flake, with a small narrow striking platform at the proximal end and distinct curve. The flint has been hevily worked at one end which means the bulb of percussion is not visible although the concchoidal rippling is very distinct indicaitng its production though hard hammer technology, usually associated with flint technology after the middle of the Neolithic. It has a round scraping edge at the distal end formed by short abrupt scaled retougch with s…

A flint flake possibly with hollow scraper blades on each edge, c.1000-1BC. Description: The flake is a tertiary flake with no cortex remaining. Along both long edges at the same point on the flake are two small concave sections with short scaled semi-abrupt retouch likely intended to create a hollow scraping edge. The bulb of percussion on the ventral side is quite pronounced as is the bulbar scar and conchoidal rippling indicating the use of a hard hammer in its production. The flint has been heavily bashed and rolled. The flint is opaque mid grey through to light brown towards i…

A possible flint hollow or coarse scraper of likely of Neolithic to late prehistoric date c 3300-1 BC. Description: The scraper is made from a highly patinated secondary flake significantly older than the retouch creating the two hollow scraping edges. The flake is irregularly shaped with pronounced flaking, bulb of percussion and conchoidal rippling, it is also quite curved in profile. The two hollow scraping edges start from distal end of the flint and extend roughly half way down the length of tool. The flint has been heavily battered, the scraping edges are formed by irregularl…

A coarse flint scraper likely dating to the late Bronze Age or Iron age c.1000BC - 0BC . Description: The scraper was produced from a secondary flake, irregularly shaped, although with four sides. The flaking has left substle conchoidal ripples on both sides of the flint and a substantial bulb of percussion on the ventral face. The retouch is formed from short scaled semi-abrupt retouch from the ventral face through the cortex on one edge and scaled long semi-abrupt on the wide edge perpedicular to the cortex edge. This latter retouch may be intended to creat a boring point on the …

A flint scraper likely of late Bronze Age to Iron Age date. Description: The scraper is ovoid, with large sweeping rounded edges. The scraper is triangular in cross-section. The scraping edge is formed from irregular invasive semi-abrupt retouch at the proximal end (striking platform end), this changes towards the distal end to abrupt indicating blunting of the corner. The retouch is struck from the both faces. The dorsal side still has about a third of the mid brown cortex remaining. The ventral side has some working and a substantial teadrop shaped bulb of percussion and substant…
