Description: | Grey flint with whitened lightly patinated surfaceScraper. Knapped Thumbnail scraper. A small flake has been provided with a curving edge by pressure flaking from its dorsal aspect. A bulb of percussion occurs on the ventral side, but the surface here has subsequently become patinated, and it is this patination which was removed by pressure flaking to form a working edge. It therefore appears that debitage from hard hammer working of probably Neolithic date has subsequently been adapted to form a small tool. Suggested date: Early Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 3500-1500 BC.Length: 27.8mm, Width: 20.7mm, Thickness: 6.1mm, Weight: 3.97gms.
