Description: | Flint end and side scraper, sub-oval in plan, triangular in section, and rhomboidal in profile. The flake has been unimarginally retouched at the distal end of the dorsal face and the left margin. A layer of cortex remains running along the right margin of the dorsal face.
The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour and frost fractured, especially on the right margin of the dorsal face, and thoughout the cortex. The length to breadth ratio is about 3:2.
Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 141, Fig.5.127, No.4, which is dated to the Later Neolithic period, and on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.12, 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: | -2900
