Description: | The scraper is knapped from a dark mottled grey flint. In plan it is a sub-oval. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the side and lower edges. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The angle of the retouch is c. 45 degrees. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has bulbar scars where the flint was struck. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 38.18mm long and is 34.65mm wide. It weighs 26.8g. The scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, approximately 2500 to 1500 B.C.
