A flint coarse-scraper possibly of very Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (c. 2400 - 1600 BC). The object is made from a light brown opaque flint. Almost the entire surface of the flint is covered with a white patina where recortication has occurred. There are also spots of orange iron staining too. However, the distal end of the scraper is stained neither white nor orange, and shows the original colour of the flint. The object is a roughly semi-circular shape and has been manufactured from a tertiary flake of flint. On the ventral surface of the flake there is conchoidal …

Late Neolithic/early Bronze Age c.3000 - c.1500 BC 'thumbnail' scraper. Although scrapers are fairly ubiquitous, the retouch looks invasive and penetrates deeply into the body of the scraper. The scraper has retouch on c.75% of its circular shape and brown is a molted grey and white colour. The base of the scraper is relatively flat with slight ripples indicative of a soft hammered flake. A strike platform is vistable.  Length: 15.07mm, Width: 16.42mm, Thickness at its thickest point: 4mm. Weight: 1.24g.

A  sub-rounded flint tool, probably an end scraper of late Neolithic/early Bronze Age date c. 3300 -1800BC. The scraper is struck from a secondary flake of black flint worked on one edge with short abrupt and semi abrupt scaled retouch. A buff coloured cortex remains on the majority of the dorsal face and the ventral face has a pronounced bulb of percussion and rippling suggesting hard hammer working. Measurements: 38.23mm Long; 33.85mm wide; 13.86mm thick. Weight 20.8g. The form is similar to a Bronze age thumbnail scraper, but it is quite large. Butler (2005): 168 n…

Prehistoric flint discoidal scraper. Formed on a d-shaped tertiary flake of light-brown flint, with semi-abrupt parallel retouch all around the curved edge, and a striking platform at the proximal edge, with two subcircular areas of surface loss emanating from it on the dorsal face. There is a (probably recent) break along the right side (when viewed with the dorsal face uppermost and the striking platform at the top) which has produced a straight edge between 3 and 5 o'clock. The ventral face is convex with a prominent bulb of percussion. The scraper is 38.4mm long, 39.8mm …

An early Bronze Age flint scraper. Description: The scraper has been fabricated from a sub-oval primary flake of mid-brown flint. There is no visible bulb of percussion and only faint ripples of percussion across the ventral face. The dorsal face is largely covered in a thin, light brown cortex.

A fairly dark greyish brown secondary flint scraper of unknown date. A pronounced bulb of percussion on its convex Ventral Face suggests it may have been produced using a hard-hammer technique. There is a series of conchordial waves on its slightly concave Dorsal Face. A small Striking Platform (10.0 mm long x 3.0 mm wide) survives at the proximal end and an area of cortex (23 mm long and tapering from 13.0 mm to 3.0 mm wide) remains on the distal end. The cutting edge (26.0 mm long) appears to have been unretouched. Measurements: 39.0 mm long x 29.5 mm wide x 10.5 mm thick. Weight…

A flint scraper of probable Bronze Age date, circa 2700-1600 BC. The flint is a secondary flint with a very small amount of cortex remaining at the distil end. The flake is sub-ovate in plan and plano-concave in section. There is scale flaking and semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch to the left mesal. The flake is pale grey in colour with pale inclusions. A flake has been removed from the ventral face, which makes the flint easy to handle by the thumb. There is a large striking platform at the proximal end.
