Description: | A probable knapped flint scraper. The scraper is a mottled mid/dark grey/brown 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 striking platform. The dorsal surface also has a patch of cortex remaining. The retouch is formed by short, 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 23.5mm long and is 26.36mm wide. It weighs 4g.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 |
