Description: | A late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age flint scraper dating from 2500-1500 BC. The flake from which it was made was possibly not ideal for the purpose. Nevetheless the flake has been re-worked with fine invasive re-touch on three sides of the dorsal surface. The striking platform is the only side not to be re-worked. The ventral surface is relatively flat and smooth and retains the bulb of percussion. The scraper measures 47.50mm long, 29.61mm wide, 12.40mm thick and weighs 17.27g.
