Description: | A complete lithic thumb scraper of Neolithic date designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. The object is D-shaped in both plan and oval in section with the edges showing signs of being worked. Both the dorsal and ventral surfaces are flat and have been polished creating a smooth finish. The worked edge is fairly shallow. The striking platform and bulb of percussion no longer remain and due to the polishing no ripples of percussion can be seen. The flint is a mid whitish-grey colour. The implement is 29.5mm long, 24.5mm wide, 5.8mm thick and weighs 5.1g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
