Description: | Flint horseshoe 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 just at the apex of the bulb of percussion.
The flint is a translucent pale grey to buff colour, and is good quality flint. The length to breadth ratio is almost 1:1.
Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 57, Fig.5.25; page 126, Fig.5.113, Type 5; and on page 147, Fig.5.133, No.F163, 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: | -2500
