Description: | Neolithic flint scraper. The tool is an end and side scraper and shows unifacial working on the dorsal (upper) face. The tool is leaf shaped and has an area of scale-flaking retouch around the widest rounded end (the distal end) and all the way down one edge. The ventral (lower) face has a clear bulb of percussion and has no retouch around the edges. This type of tool was probably used for hideworking. The tool weighs 3g and measues 34.85mm in length, 18.32mm in width and 6.05mm in thickness. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -3500
