Description: | A flint side and end scraper of probable late Mesolithic to Neolithic date. The scraper is formed on a tertiary flake of dark brown-grey flint, flecked with white in places. The flake is sub-retangular in form, but rounded at the distal end and is slightly curved in profile (when looking at it from the side). The ventral face is unworked, with a large butt and prominent ripple lines suggesting that a large, hard hammer was used. A small portion of the proximal end may have broken away following deposition, however, as the break there is fresh and sharp still. The dorsal face has a large, long removal on the left side, with semi-abrupt to low angle, invasive, scaled retouch covering the right side and distal end. Length: 45.72mm, Width: 25.24mm, Thickness: 7.6mmWeight: 6.16g
