Description: | A flint side and end scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of slightly mottled mid-brownish-grey flint. It is fresh and near complete (most of the proximal end including the bulb of percussion has snapped off). The pronouced ripples on the ventral surface suggest the use of a hard hammer. The dorsal surface of the distal end and one lateral side have been retouched. The retouch is short and semi-abrupt to abrupt.
