Description: | A Late Neolithic flint scraper dating from 2500-2100BC. It is ovoid and has bifacial working; around the edge of the dorsal (upper) face and some limited retouch on the ventral (lower) face. The ventral (or lower) face has a clearly visible bulb of percussion. The flint is mid-grey in colour with white flecks and there is a large area of cortex on the dorsal face. The edges of the tool are quite blunt probably through use. The scraper weighs 11.65g and measures 31.6mm in width, 38.24mm in length and 7.57mm in thickness.
