Description: | Cloudy brown flint or chert of lower quality, with cortex across one faceScraper (identified by finder). A broad flat flake from the outside of a core, with hammer working from that (dorsal) side, producing a ragged edge around the tool. More limited zones of pressure flaking from the same side produced a more stable edge in a shallow cut-out zone along the edge, and pressure flaking from both sides has sharpened a further two limited zones. The overall impression is of a skilled worker investing the minimum necessary effort. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100BC.Length: 62.92mm, Width: 48.99mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 31.89gms.
