Description: | A flint hollow scraper of probable Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. It has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining on the dorsal surface) of dark greyish-brown flint. It is fresh and probably complete. Part of the bulb of percussion has been removed by retouch but the bulbar scar and clear ripples suggest the use of a hard hammer. One lateral side has been retouched to create a concave scraping edge. The retouch is short and abrupt.
Dimensions: 36.3mm by 19mm by 7.1mm
