Description: | A sub-oval, flint, end scraper. The scraper has been made from a primary flake of dark brown flint. There are clear ripples of percussion across the ventral face but the striking platform and bulb of percussion have been lost due to secondary working at the proximal end. The dorsal face is partially covered in a thick, off-white cortex. The scraper has been abruptly and steeply pressure flaked around 60% of its edge with the distal end worked to produce a rounded scraping edge. There is some further, more refined pressure flaking to the proximal end of the flakeThese types of scrapers date to the Early Bronze Age.
