Description: | Flint upright scraper, sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in profile and section. The distal end and laft lateral margin have been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off just beyond the bulb of percussion.
The flint is a mottled dark grey colour with white specs, probably made from a local beach pebble. There is a layer of cortex all along the proximal half of the dorsal face, suggesting that the scraper was made from a secondary flake. The length to breadth ratio is almost 3:2.
Bond (2004) illustrates another sub-rectangular example on page 132, Fig.5.118, No.F12, which is dated to the Neolithic; and an irregular example on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.14, 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
