Description: | A complete flint end scraper, using a secondary flake. The tool is sub-rectangular in shape and fairly thin. It has two inward curving ridges running down the centre of the dorsal face. The butt is quite wide and thin and covered in a small layer of whitish pebble cortex. A small chip has removed the bulb of percussion on the ventral face. Possibly a small amount of retouch can be seen on both sides, which have created slight inward curves. A small amount of abrupt, long, sub-parallel retouch can also be seen on the fairly straight edge of the distal end. The flint is mid grey-brown in colour with a fairly shiny patina and a few patches of light cortex remaining in places. Probably of Neolithic to early Bronze Age in date, c.3500-1500 BC.Length: 52.17mm, Width: 29.62mm, Thickness: 9.46mm, Weight; 18.09g
