Description: | A knapped flint scraper, probably dating to either the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500 BC-1500 BC). The lithic implement is discoidal with a broadly trapezoidal cross-section. The scraper retains a bulb of percussion and small ripples of retouch on the ventral face, whilst the dorsal face has significant small retouch and shaping at the distal end. Moderate cortex remains at the two mesial edges of the dorsal face, perhaps to facilitate an individual's grip. The flint material itself is of a medium grey colour, with some natural white inclusions. It measures 32.3mm by 33.9mm, 6 mm maximum thickness and weighs 8.65 grams.
