Description: | Flint, patinated heavily on one side and lightly on the other.Scraper. Triangular knapped flint; a bulb of percussion on the ventral aspect shows where it was detached, the finder identifies this break as a hinge fracture. After an elapse of time permitting the light patination of the ventral aspect, fine pressure flaking executed from that side removed patination along one edge. The opposite edge also feels lightly serrated, though this might arise from fortuitous damage. The skilful working, and the development and subsequent removal of patina, tend to indicate a prolonged Neolithic currency for this object. Suggested date: Neolithic, 3500-2100 BC.Length: 26.9mm, Width: 28mm, Thickness: 3.6mm, Weight: 2.72gms.
