Description: | A flint flake scraper of probable late Mesolithic date. The implement is irregular in shape and measures 30mm long by 28mm wide and 6.5mm thick. The upper surface has flake removal scars and there is a small portion of platform at the top. These factors suggest that the flake was struck from the side of a blade core. Its curved outer edge has been re-touched by the removal of one to two rows of small pressure flaked chips. The opposite edge is unworked and retains its cortex. The flint is a dark grey colour. The weight is 6.25g. | 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: | -6500
