Description: | Complete prehistoric flint implement, possibly a large scraper. Date unknown. Length 101mm, width 112mm and 27mm thick. Weight 288g.The scraper is sub-triangular in plan and has been produced on a naturally fractured "lump". The ventral surface is probably a natural fracture and the lump has been utilised and formed into a large scraper. The dorsal surface is mainly occupied by cortex which is "pitted". The pitting is probably the result of the implement having been used as a hammer. All three edges have been retouched and the removals are abrupt/crossed abrupt, short and scaled/stepped. Mottled grey and white with iron staining. The cortex is pale brown with dark brown speckles.
