Description: | 1: A 'thumbnail' type scraper, 26mm in lenght. There is one patch of cortex on the dorsal face it is medium brown in colour and probably Early Bronze Age in date. 2: An end and side 'horseshoe' shaped scraper,45mm in lenght. It has been retouched on both edges and the butt end (bulb has been knapped off) on bulbar face and probably all around the distal end of the dorsal face, which is mainly cortex. All this primary phase working is patinated pale blue/grey. However, the retouch on the dorsal face has mostly been re-worked into a scraper along one edge and the distal end. The final phase of working is unpatinated. Curiously the bulbar face is partially stained medium brown, though not on the retouched areas. This is presumed to post date the patination but appears to be of a limited extent. This scraper is possibly mesolithic or neolithic in date and the reused in the Early Bronze Age. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
