Description: | Flint thumbnail scraper, oval in plan, and plano-convex in profile and section. The scraper has been unifacially retouched at the distal end and the lateral margins of the dorsal face. The proximal end has been snapped off above the bulb of percussion, but there are still concentric ripples from this point on the ventral face.The flint is a translucent dark grey to black and was likely derived from an area such as Beer Head in Devon.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 57, Fig.5.25, No.L49, dated from the Early Bronze Age, and another example excavated from a Beaker site in Bradley (1970) on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.6.
