Description: | Flint short end and side scraper, ovate in plan, flat and semi-circular in profile and in section. The proximal end and left edge of the dorsal face are unimarginally reworked.
The flint is a mottled light grey colour, with iron-staining on the surface of both faces. No cortex survives on the dorsal face which suggests that this is made from a secondary flake and probably was knapped from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2.
Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples of end scrapers on page 56, Fig.5.22, No.L5 and page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F123 which is dated from the Early to the Middle 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
