Description: | A flint End scraper of early Neolithic date (C. Butler 2005; pp. 127).
The implement has been made from a broad, thick flake. It is sub-oval in plan, having a deliberately flattened bottom edge. There is a limited amount of re-touching to the rounded top edge and parallel long sides. The convex upper surface of the tool is also roughly worked, with three or four uneven flake removal scars and a portion of the original flint cortex remaining. There is no reworking on the reverse, where, at the top, there is a small section of the core platform above a bulb-of-percussion. The flint is white to light grey in colour.
The tool measures 61.6mm long, 41.6mm wide and 18.7mm thick. The weight is 51.72g. | Subjects: | Flint End scraper | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
