Description: | A flint end scraper of probable Neolithic date. The scraper has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of mixed opaque cream to transparent light grey. The area of recortication on the dorsal surface indicates that the flint was not freshly mined when it was worked. The pronouced bulb of percussion and bulbar scar on the ventral surface suggest the use of a hard hammer. The dorsal surface of the distal end has been retouched. The retouch is short and abrupt.The scraper measures 76mm by 45.5mm by 14mm and weighs 50.8g.
