Description: | Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age side scraper. Knapped from dark black flint. There is a large bulb of percussion, with the point of percussion visible. There is a large amount of scaring on the proximal end of the dorsal surface. Previous flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface, and one side edge has been retouched with semi-abrupt removals to create a curved edge. These removals continue around to the distal end, where the retouch is abrupt. The scraper is sub-circular in plan, is thick and curved in profile and it has a semi-circular cross section. It is 36.37mm long, 31.22mm wide, 12.50mm thick and weighs 18.39 grams. | Subjects: | Side | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
