Description: | Lithic implement, end scraper.
It is irregular in plan- sub-rectangular with a bulbous terminal. In section it is trapezoidal. The edges have all been worked. The notch where the bulbous part starts has been retouched. It is made from a grey flint which has some lighter coloured (white/cream) irregular patches in.
It is hard to date single flint pieces when they are found out of context.
Ron Cowell saw an image of this find and comments 'You can get end scrapers at any time before about 1500 BC, although they are perhaps more frequent earlier (Mesolithic/early Neolithic) rather than later in that period but you couldn??t rule this out as being early Bronze Age either.' | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
