Description: | Flint end scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. Secondary flint flake. The fairly broad butt and pronounced bulb suggest that a moderately large, hard hammer was used. A tiny amount of cortex remains on the left side towards the proximal end. The distal end of the dorsal face is rounded with a small amount of long, parallel, low angle to semi-abrupt retouch. The flint is light grey in colour with a few slightly darker patches and a very shiny patina. It survives in fairly good condition, though a few edges do seem subject to later damage. Length: 24.60mm, Width: 21.36mm, Thickness: 7.10mmWeight: 3.85g
