Description: | Three miscellaneous shaped scrapers. Probably Neolithic or Bronze Age in date, 19.1 grams.a. Probably a broken half of a discoid or horseshoe scraper. Distal part of a flake with a snap across the proximal end. Long, parallel, abrupt retouch around the distal end becoming more scalar on the right edge and semi-abrupt on what remains of the left edge. Dark grey flint with paler areas, 6.7 grams.b. Small side and end scraper formed on an early secondary flake. Thick bulb of percussion on ventral face. Cortex covers the distal face apart from where it is retouched. Break to the left side of the proximal end (seen from the dorsal face). Long, parallel, semi-abrupt retouch down the left edge and left part of the distal end on the dorsal face; more abrupt, scalar retouch down the right edge becoming shorter towards the proximal end. Medium flint, 5.0 grams.c. Side scraper formed on a large flake. Irregular chips on the ventral and dorsal faces have removed the proximal end. Break down the right edge on the dorsal face, long parallel semi-abrupt retouch at the distal end becoming semi-parallel and abrupt down the left edge. Medium to dark grey banded flint, 7.3 grams.
