Description: | A flint side and end scraper of Neolithic or early Bronze Age date. The scraper has been made from a secondary flake. At the proximal end is the striking platform, below which on the ventral surface is the bulb of percussion and a bulbar scar. There are several flaking scars on the dorsal surface and the scraper has been retouched around one side and the distal end. There are two small areas of cortex on the dorsal surface, towards the distal end. The opaque light grey and more transparent greyish-brown flint has a low to mid gloss patina.
