Description: | A flint side and end scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a secondary waste flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform and below this on the ventral surface is the bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. Ripples radiate down the ventral surface from this point. The flake has been retouched around the distal end and part of the way up both sides, removing some of the remaining cortex in one area. The light brownish-grey flint has a mid-gloss patina.
