Description: | Flint scraper, probably of Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. Secondary flake. The object is roughly semi-circular in shape. It has a few flaking scars on the dorsal face. Along the right edge of the dorsal face, long, scaled, low angle retouch can be seen. On the left side of the dorsal face are a series of stepped removals and along the left edge is very fine, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch. There is a small amount of cortex remaining on the distal end of the dorsal face. The flint is mid-grey in colour, with lighter patches in places and a slightly shiny patina. The butt and bulb are both quite small. The bulb, on the ventral face, has been partially removed, via one small flake. Length: 38.36mm, Width: 40.80mm, Thickness: 16.26mm, Weight: 23.5g
