Description: | A crude flint scraper, which could be of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date, produced from a secondary flake. The dorsal face has three primary long, thin, vertical flaking scars. The butt is fairly narrow. The ventral face has a prominent bulb with clear ripple lines, suggesting that a hard hammer was used. A small amount of very crude, uneven low angle to semi-abrupt, short retouch can be seen, alternating between both faces along each side. There may also be a very small amount of retouch along the edge of the distal end. At the distal end a small amount of chalky, orange cortex remains. The flint is dark grey-brown in colour and is in fairly good condition, but with some damage in places. It appears to be complete.Length: 39.98mm, Width: 41.11mm, Thickness: 10.1g
