Description: | Side scraper from the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age in an translucent mid brown flint. It is triangular in plan with a sharp point at the distal end which may have had a secondary function as a borer. There is sub-parallel semi-abrupt retouch along both sides becoming longer around the point at the distal end and along the left edge and shorter in the centre of the right edge. The scraper is worked from a secondary flake, with circa 50% cortext remaining on the dorsal face. The ventral face has possible deliberate removals at the proximal end which have removed the bulb of percussion and striking platform. It is 46.8mm long, 27.8mm wide and 9.6mm thick, it weighs 9.75 grams.
