Description: | Flint end scraper, sub-ovate in plan and triangular in profile and section, with abrupt unifacial retouch at the distal end and along part of the right margin of the dorsal face. There is some natural fracturing, creating a stepped edge at the proximal end of the dorsal face. A layer of cortex remains across the middle of the dorsal face from the mid-point to the left margin and it continues along the left margin to the proximal end where another thick chunk protrudes above the underlying flint.The colour of the flint is a mottled light grey, and the colour and texture of the cortex suggests that the flake was derived from a local beach pebble.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar end scraper on page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F111, which is dated from the Bronze Age.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar end scraper on page 184, Fig.75, No.1, which is dated from the Bronze Age.
