Description: | Lithic scraper, probably of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date due to the quantity of blades and blade cores present at the same find spot. 50% of the dorsal surface is covered by cream cortex, and the distal end of this surface has semi-abrupt removals: retouched. Previous flakes have been removed from the surface. The ventral surface has a damaged bulb of percussion due to a broken proximal end. The surface is slightly curved with impact ripples along the length. The mid to light grey flint is unpatinated and has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity (chipped edges). The dimensions are 50.16mm long, 37.03mm wide, 8.50mm thick and it weighs 14.02 grams
