Description: | A flint thumbnail scraper, it is roughly circular and appears to have been made from a modified flint 'pot lid'. There is evidence of working around the entire circumference where the edges have been retouched. The flint is white in colour being heavily patinated. It has some iron staining. A small area of cortex still remains on the dorsal side but most appears to have been removed naturally either as 'pot lids' or frost damage. Possibly Bronze Age (c2100 to c800 BC) but impossible to date accurately. The length is 23mm, the width is 18mm, the thickness is 5.5mm and the weight is 2.16g.
