Neolithic Stone Age Context

The Neolithic period marks an important stage in human history, associated with the development of settled communities, changing subsistence practices and the wider use of deliberately shaped stone tools. Stone implements from this period are studied for the evidence they provide about early technology, practical activity and the ways people interacted with natural materials.

A scraper is a recognised type of stone tool. Scraper forms are generally discussed in relation to the working of materials such as hide, wood or other organic resources, although the specific use of an individual artefact should not be assumed solely from its type. The term lithic refers to an artefact made from stone, placing this specimen within the broad field of prehistoric stone-tool technology.

Suffolk is an important area for archaeological interest, and a Neolithic tool connected with Lowestoft offers a tangible link to the prehistoric past of eastern England.
