Description: | A flint side scraper of probable late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date which has been made from a secondary waste flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform and, on the ventral side, the bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. Slight ripples radiate from the proximal end down the ventral surface. On the dorsal surface there are two main flaking scars and a small area of cortex towards the proximal end. Along the whole of one edge and the distal end the flake has been invasively retouched. The mottled cream and light brownish grey flint has a mid gloss patina.
