Description: | A flint side scraper of probable Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. It has been made from a tertiary flake. On the ventral surface at the proximal end are the striking platform, the bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. On the dorsal surface there are a number of flaking scars and one side has been retouched to form a side scraper. There is also some later damage along this side and in other areas, which has removed the speckled bluish-white patina to reveal mid brownish-grey flint beneath.
Dimensions: 45.04mm by 32.03mm by 8.67mm
