Description: | Flint scraper formed on tertiary debitage flake (from the third and final phase of tool making) dating from the Neolithic period (3500-2100 BC). The scraper is formed from a squat triangular flake of poor quality flint. The ventral face shows conchoidal ripples and part of the bulb of percussion but the but the striking platform, point of percussion have been removed through snapping. The dorsal face has a number of irregular and regular flake scars. The two long edges and tip have been reworked / retouched with small blunt irregular flakes probably made by direct percussion creating a cutting / scraping serrated edges. Modern abrasion / plough roll has removed some of this. The retouching of the edges is limited to the dorsal face only. A number of flake scars are present on the dorsal face.This scraper measures 30.4mm length, 21.8mm width, is 6.9mm thick and weighs 4.64 grams | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
