Description: | Lithic Implement: Complete flint scraper of Neolithic date. The implement has been formed from a flint flake and the flat striking platform, bulb of percussion and ripples are notable. The distal end of the flake is still covered in cortex and the semi-abupt re-touch to create the scraper edge is along one edge only. The flint has a milky grey-brown patina.Scraper tools will have had a variety of uses although the most common suggestion is for cleaning skins.This scraper has been dated c. 2500 BC-1000 BC.
