Tiny Mesolithic Scraper (Bedfordshire, England)

A tiny Mesolithic tool from Bedforshire, England. 

In the river valleys and high ground of Bedfordshire, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers left behind an impressive array of microliths—tiny, expertly knapped flint tools that functioned as delicate knives and scrapers.

These tiny implements demonstrate incredible precision; some scrapers are barely the size of a thumbnail but still feature the characteristic steep "retouch" used for cleaning hides or woodworking. Despite their small stature, these tools were the cutting-edge technology of their day, essential for a mobile lifestyle in the post-glacial wild.

This piece comes in a floating display, as pictured.

This is genuine artifact. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.

Size: 1.13 inch | Age: Mesolithic (8000 - 6000 Years Old) | Found: Bedfordshire, England
