Description: | A Neolithic thumb scraper, which has been elaborately worked. The scraper has a plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. It has been formed from a light grey flint, with creamy-white flaws within the flake matrix. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident. The dorsal surface is still coated with 10% natural cortex. The upper end of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
