Description: | A probable knapped flint scraper. The scraper is a mottled mid/dark grey colour. In plan it is a sub-oval. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the distal end and sides. The upper edge forms a possible striking platform. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has concentric rings. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 30.24mm long and is 38.55mm wide. It weighs 10.6g.The scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, c. 3500 to 1500 B.C. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
