Historical Context

The Neolithic period is widely associated with major changes in prehistoric life, including the development of settled communities, farming and more specialised tool-making traditions. Stone tools were produced for practical tasks and were shaped to create useful working edges. Scrapers are a recognised class of prehistoric lithic artefact, generally associated with processing activities such as working hides or other materials. This context makes the piece relevant to collections focused on early technology, prehistoric craftsmanship and the development of human material culture.
