Description: | Lithic scraper, probably of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date due to the quantity of blades and blade cores present at the same find spot. The scraper was formed by retouching a flake. 40% of the dorsal surface is covered by a cream-brown cortex, and the distal end of this face has abrupt removals while all other edges have short removals (forming a semi-circular scraper cutting edge). The ventral surface has a bulb of percussion and impact ripples. The mid-grey flint is unpatinated and has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity. The dimensions are 50.59mm long, 35.01mm wide, 13.73mm thick and it weighs 25.43 grams | 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
