Description: | A large 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 oval in overall shape. It has been formed from a light whitish-grey flint, with creamy-white flaws within the flake matrix. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident. There is a steep arrise along the spine of the dorsal surface. The upper end of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Morris, Rebecca | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
