Description: | A knapped flint scraper: The flint is a mottled mid grey colour. In plan it is a sub-semi circular with an obliquely angled upper edge. This upper edge may be due to recent damage. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has two large negative scars and then has retouch around one side edge and the lower edge. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars which have been pressure flaked. The ventral face (smooth face) has concentric rings and the striking platform, and bulb of percussion. The scraper is 33.36mm long and is 28.77mm wide. It weighs 5.7g. The scraper is probably an end scraper dating to the Neolithic period, c. 3500 to c. 2100 B.C.
