Description: | A Neolithic thumb scraper, which has been elaborately worked. The scraper has a plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is circular in overall shape. It has been formed from a dark grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident and ripples of percussion are still evident. The dorsal surface is still coated with 25% natural cortex. There are also many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
