Description: | A flint scraper of probable Neolithic to early Bronze Age date. It is a secondary flake with a small amount of hard, white cortex remaining to one side. It is sub-rectangular in shape and sub-triangular in cross-section. The flint is opaque grey and very poor quality, which would not have been ideal for working. There is very crude semi-abrupt, long, scaled retouch along the right edge of the dorsal face. The distal end of the dorsal face has a few removals creating a sharp edge and causing it to curve inwards with a spur to the left that may have been a deliberate and functional feature. It was struck using a fairly hard hammer.Length: 13.71mm, Width: 25.24mm, Thickness: 14.45mm, Weight: 14.19g
