Description: | Late palaeolithic double-ended scraper. Segment of a large blade with a single crest in a chocolate brown stained flint. Both ends appear to have been steeplyretouched to give a double ended scraper but both have suffered ancient damage. The distal edge has small neat retouch scars at both ends but the central part of the edge has two larger scars with evidence of crushing on the ventral side.The proximal end appears to have been damaged by the loss of a large chip and shows slight evidence of crushing on the ventral edge.The find spot is near one of the head ways of the River Wensum and is a further example of activity in the late (final)Upper Palaeolithic which is now well represented in the Wensum Valley.Measuring 79 x 45 x 13mm.
