Description: | A Neolithic lithic tool, which could be a basic thumbscraper.
The dorsal surface of the flake has had previous flakes removed from its surface. On the top edge of the dorsal surface there is a large amount of retouch. This retouch gives the flake its scraper like appearance.
The bulb of percussion and the striking platform are both still evident on the ventral surface. Ripples of percussion and bulb scars are also still evident on the ventral surface.
10% of the surface is still coated with the natural cortex. | 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: | -8300
