Description: | Flint thumbnail scraper, semi-circular in plan and lozenge-shaped in profile and section. The distal end and lateral margins have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off on the left side of the dorsal face, and on the right side of the ventral face where the bulb of percussion is. The rest of the proximal end is covered in a thin layer of cortex.
The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, probably made from a local beach pebble, and the length to breadth ratio is about 5:4.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.7, which is dated to the Beaker period, and another on page 154, Fig.5.138, No.3, which is dated to the 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: | -2500
