Description: | A Neolithic to Bronze Age flint scraper. The scraper is a fragment of a Neolithic polished axe head which has been broken and reused. There are numerous ripples visible on the ventral face, no striking platform or bulb of percussion is visible as the proximal end has a snap and it is probable the break was accidental. On the dorsal face there is clear evidence of retouch on the distal end and both sides. The right hand side of the dorsal face and the proximal end of the left hand side have abrupt, long scalar removals. The distal end of the left edge and the distal end have longer sub-parallel semi-abrupt retouch. The dorsal face shows evidence of polishing and has small traces of iron corrosion product. The scraper is pale grey in colour. It is 23.9mm in length, 23.05mm wide and weighs 13.23 grams.
