Description: | A flint side and end scraper of probable Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. The scraper measures 24.2mm by 31mm by 7.9mm and weighs 6.9g. It has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of mottled light to mid-grey flint. It is fresh and complete. The large striking platform and bulb of percussion suggest the use of a hard hammer. The dorsal surface of the distal end and both lateral sides have been retouched. The retouch is short and semi-abrupt. | Subjects: | Side and End | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
