Description: | One side and end scraper and one fragment of a scraper, probably later Neolithic to Early Bronze Age in date. Both tertiary pieces of knapped flint, mid to pale grey and mottled in colour.Scraper: Flake struck off a multi-platform core with damage at the proximal end. there is retouch around the distal end and down both sides on the dorsal face. It is fairly irregular varying from short to long depending on the thickness of the flake, scalar to sub-parallel and abrupt to semi-abrupt. It is 31.5mm long, 28.3mm wide and 8.1m thick, it weighs 7.55 grams.Fragment: Part of the side of a scraper. Both ventral and dorsal face may be broken. Although the ventral face has percussion waves the bulb appears too small to result from removing a flake of the size of the original scraper from the core and may relate to the removal of this piece from the scraper. On the dorsal face the left edge is therefore the break with the right edge having the long, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch of the original scraper. It is 26.6mm long, 14.3mm wide and 5.5mm thick; it weighs 1.95 grams
