Description: | Complete prehistoric flint implement, possibly a large scraper. Date unknown. Length 101mm, width 112mm and 27mm thick. Weight 288g. The scraper is sub-triangular in plan and has been produced on a naturally fractured ?lump?. The ventral surface is probably a natural fracture and the lump has been utilised and formed into a large scraper. The dorsal surface is mainly occupied by cortex which is ?pitted?. The pitting is probably the result of the implement having been used as a hammer. All three edges have been retouched and the removals are abrupt/crossed abrupt, short and scaled/stepped. Mottled grey and white with iron staining. The cortex is pale brown with dark brown speckles. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
