Description: | A knapped flint scraper. The flint is a mid to dark brown colour. In plan it is a sub-drop shape. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the side and lower edges, the base of the drop shape. 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 three negative scars which may be more recent. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 32.07mm long and is 23.51mm wide. It weighs 7.43g. The scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods, approximately 2500 to 1500 B.C.
