Description: | Flint discoidal scraper, semi-circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The scraper has been unifacially reworked on the right edge of the dorsal face and naturally truncated on the left edge where cortex remains from the original edge of the flint pebble. The ventral face retains the bulb of percussion at the proximal end.
The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, made from a local beach pebble, with some of the orignal cortex remaining on the left edge of the dorsal face. The length to breadth ratio is about 6:5.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 126, Fig.5.113, Type 5, which is dated to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age; and another on page 132, Fig.5.118, No.F9, which is dated to the Earlier Neolithic period; and another on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.7, which is dated to the Beaker period; and another on page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F129, 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: | -4500
