Description: | Flint snapped side scraper, semi-circular in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. The scraper has been unifacially reworked on the right edge of the dorsal face and naturally truncated on the left edge where cortex remains from the original edge of the flint pebble. The ventral face retains the bulb of percussion at the proximal end.The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, made from a local beach pebble, with some of the orignal cortex remaining at the distal end of the dorsal face. The length to breadth ratio is about 4:3.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.7, which is dated to the Beaker period; and another on page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F129, which is dated to the Early Bronze Age.
