Description: | Neolithic scraper; knapped flint scraper of probable Neolithic or early Bronze Age date (c.3500-2000 BC). The scraper is formed from a large, broad flake of opaque, white flint with rust-coloured seams running through it. The flake has a prominent bulb of percussion on one face with conchoidal fracture ripples running down from it. There is a lozenge-shaped striking platform at the top. The other face has two concave scars running down its length where further flakes have been struck off. There is steep secondary working around the lower edge of the tool, giving a sharp cutting edge across the whole area.
Length 40.7mm, width 39.3mm, thickness 12.1mm, weight 16.48g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
