The tool is sub-oval in plan, retaining a small portion of the core platform at the proximal end. The convex dorsal surface has several arrises, while the ventral surface exibits two bulbs-of-percussion. The clearest retouch has taken place at the distal end, where pressure flaking has created a steep edge; the other sides also show some probable retouch and/or wear. The flint is a lightly patinated mid grey colour.
The implement measures 47.3mm long, 33.7mm wide and 13.3mm thick. The weight is 25.8g. | Subjects: | Flint scraper | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
