Description: | Flint scraper, probably Neolithic- Bronze Age in date, c.3500- 800 BC.It is made from a light grey flint with some white inclusions. A very small piece of cortext remains on the base of one edge. In plan it is sub-tear drop in shape, with a rounded base and a pointed tip.It has been worked on all edges, with re-touching visible around most of the edges, particularly near the top (when viewed on the image). There have been some flakes taken off both faces.It is difficult to allocate specific dates to flints when they are found out of context, in particular ones which have no real defining features so a broad date range has been assigned to this piece.
