Description: | Flint side scraper, oval in plan, triangular in section and trapezoidal in profile. The distal end and the right margin of the dorsal face have been unimarginally retouched and the left margin is covered in cortex up to the medial ridge.
The flint is a light grey to buff colour and the length to breadth ratio is about 3:2. The colour and size suggest that the scraper was made from a local beach pebble.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 158, Fig.5.140, No.1, which is dated to the Beaker period. | 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: | -2700
