A small Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint scraper struck from a dark grey-brown flint. A small patch of cortex is retained on the dorsal surface. The distal end is curved with semi abrupt parallel retouch refining a working edge. The proximal end of the dorsal surface has been reduced with long, intrusive parallel retouch.

Complete end scraper of conventional form; made from a secondary, hard hammer struck flake of glossy black flint with some inclusions, steeply retouched at the distal end to form the semi-circular scraping edge, small patch of sandy coloured thin cortex extant to one lateral side, showing the outside curve of the flint nodule this was struck from. A very useful tool in the initial preparation of fresh hides for tanning, effective in removing the subcutaneous fat from just below the surface of the skin. Neolithic, 4,000 to 2,350 BC.

A complete Neolithic endscraper dating to c. 4000-2400 BC. The end scraper is made from a tertiary flake of flint that is a matte light brown sometimes semi-glossy medium brown semi-translucent flint. It is broadly recyangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross section the ventral surface being wider than the dorsal surface. It has at least three earlier flake removal scars on the dorsal surface struck in the same direction as the scraper. Its distal end has medium length, semi-abrupt, parallel retouch across its length. No retouch exists on the ventral surface altho…

A scraper struck from a dark brown flint, 49mm in length, probably of Neolithic date. The scraper is semi-circular and there is semi-abrupt parallel retouch, most noticeably on one side. The dorsal surface and proximal end retain patches of cortex with no evidence for a prepared striking platform. The surface demonstrates water polish.

A complete flint Scraper of Neolithic date (3450-2100 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in plan and bi-convex in section. The proximal end retains some cortex while the distal edge is curved. All edges with the exception of the proximal end have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly convex with six negative scars and corresponding arises. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. The flint is dark/light grey in colour, the cortex is light brown in colour. Length: 42.64mm, Width: 42.21mm, Thickness: 13.55mm, Weight: 29.2g

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2300 BC. The object is formed from a tertiary flake which is sub-ovate in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is flat and smooth. Short, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch is present along the curved edge and into each side of the dorsal surface. The flint is a light white colour with grey inclusions. The implement is 28.4mm long, 19.6mm wide, 10.8mm thick and weighs 5.7g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than other artefact types.…

A Neolithic or early Bronze Age scraper struck from a secondary flake of grey flint, 49.4mm in length. The distal end and adjacent part of the right side has short abrupt retouch to define a working edge. The other side of the distal end is broken, and has battering damage, probably pre-dating the removal of the flake from the core. A small area of light brown coloured cortex is retained on one side of the proximal end of the dorsal surface, which tapers to a small striking platform.
