Description: | Flint thumbnail scraper, semi-circular in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. The distal end and lateral margins have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off on the left side of the dorsal face, and on the right side of the ventral face where the bulb of percussion is. This broken edge may have extended to a point originally to mimic the point on the other side of the proximal end.
The flint is a mottled grey colour, probably made from a local beach pebble, and the length to breadth ratio is almost 1:1.
Bond illustrates a similar example on page 57, Fig.5.26, No.F36, which is dated to the Early Bronze Age. | 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: | -2150
