Description: | A probable chert end scraper of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a tertiary flake (no cortex remaining) of slightly mottled dark brownish-grey chert. It is fresh and complete. The pronouced bulb 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. Although neither lateral side is retouched, one side of the flake has an awl-like point which appears to have been accentuated by the retouch along the distal end. This may be deliberate.Dimensions: 19mm by 24.8mm by 6.8mmWeight: 2.6
