Description: | Flint debitage from the final / tertiary phase of knapping dating from the later Neolithic 2900-2100 BC. The piece of debitage may represent a broken tool which has been reworked into a small scraper or a piece of waste flake similarly reworked. Both the dorsal and ventral faces exhibit a number of flake scars in several different directions. One edge and part of the end have been extensively reworked with neat regular flakes being removed to create a serrated scraping edge. The flint is a dark grey colour and is from a relative good quality sourced, in that there are few flaws in the matrix of the flint. There is some evidence of damage through abrasion in the ploughsoil and the edges are rolled and exhibit hinge fractures.The debitage measures 24.7mm length, 19.2mm width and is 9.3mm thick and weighs 4.29 grams
