Description: | Complete flint scraper produced on a secondary flake. Neolithic or Bronze Age date (4500 BC - 700 BC). Length 40.5mm, width 28mm and 6mm thick. Weight 7.04g.The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion and associated radiating ripples. It has been retouched along the butt (the proximal end) to form a straight cutting edge and the removals are semi-abrupt, long and parallel. On the left edge is a substantial notch. The dorsal surface has an area of creamy buff cortex over the distal half and the edges of the scraper have been retouched all round except for a small length on the left edge. The retouch on the proximal end is similar to that on the proximal end of the ventral surface although not so finely executed. The implement is in good condition.
