A flint scraper of probable later prehistoric date, c. 3,300-800 BC. Worked from a primary flake of grey-brown flint, with cortex covering all of those areas not exhibiting retouch. Crude removals struck from the proximal end have thinned the flake, removing the bulb of percussion. Short, semi-abrupt, scalar retouch is exhibited around the perimeter of the dorsal face, with the exception of the proximal end. Dimensions: length 41.7mm; width 45.2mm; thickness 12.5mm; weight 30.26g. It is impossible to date a single undiagnostic flint with confidence, however the crude knappin…

A Chert end scraper of probable Mesolithic to Neolithic date, c. 8,000-2,400 BC. Worked from a sub-rectangualr secondary flake of orange greensand chert, with cortex surviving at the proximal end of the dorsal face, as well as on the striking platform. A diffuse bulb of percussion is present at the proximal end of the ventral face, a reflection more of the raw material than knapping technique. Short, Abrupt, scalar retouch is exhibited along the distal edge of the dorsal face. Dimensions: length 45.9mm; width 51.5mm; thickness 16.3mm; weight 45.83g. Part of a small assemblage of…

A Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age flint scraper, possibly dating to 3,300-2,400 BC and probably dating to c. 3,300-1,600 BC. An incomplete sub-rectangular tertiary flake of opaque plae grey flint mottled with white inclusions and with areas of darker colouration. The proximal end has been lost to an old break, with a removal scar on the dorsal face probably struck from a different platform.
