Description: | Complete flint scraper of Neolithic or Bronze Age date (4500 BC ? 700 BC). Length 65mm, width 56mm and 17mm thick. Weight 69.78g. Produced on a secondary flake, the ventral surface has an indistinct bulb of percussion. The dorsal surface has a number of large removals. The edge of the distal end is steep and is largely occupied by cortex. This edge, however, has been crudely retouched with three strikes to create a cutting edge of three removals. The removals of this retouch are abrupt, short and parallel. Mottled grey with a pale brown cortex. | 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: | -4500
