Description: | Late Neolithic or Bronze Age flint scraper. The scraper was made on a secondary flake with small amounts of the original cortext remaining at the distal end of the dorsal face. The rest of the flint has begun re-corticisation, probably speeded up by the marine environment. There is some modern damage to the distal end which shows the dark gray/black colour of the freshly struck flint. The flake is roughly oval with a prominent bulb of percussion with bulb scars. The dorsal face is highly domed and shows evidence of previous, irregular, flake removals. There is short semi-abrupt retouch around the distal end and upper part of the right hand side of the dorsal face.It is 62.3mm long, 53.5mm wide, 19.4mm thick and weighs more than 60 grams.
