Description: | A knapped flint end scraper. The scraper is a mottled light grey colour. In plan it is a sub-drop shape. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the side and distal end, the upper edge forms a possible striking platform. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The angle of the retouch is c. 70 degrees. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has concentric rings. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 29.35mm long and is 23mm wide. It weighs 5.1g. The scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, c. 3500 to 1500 B.C.
