Description: | A Prehistoric flint scraper. This is a secondary flake with approximately 10% of the cortex remaining on the dorsal surface and approximately 1% on the ventral surface. There are several flake removal scars on the dorsal surface but some of these will be due to later damage. The flake is roughly triangular in plan with the butt forming a point and the proximal end forming a wide edge. There is some retouch along the proximal edge. There may also be some working around the left proximal corner creating a point which could work as a borer or awl. The flint is dark grey and glossy.Jon Cotton states that he can't be more precise with dating because it is an atypical type.Dimensions: length: 40.74mm; width: 48.75mm; thickness: 16.19mm; weight: 26.18g.Identification by Jon Cotton, Senior Prehistoric Curator Museum of London.
