Description: | Black Opaque Flint, possibly collected from the East Coast. Scraper fragment. Round ended plano-convex scraper fragment. The dorsal or convex aspect bears parallel flake removal scars typical of Neolithic work, a period to which the selection of this apt material may also date. The curved edge has been reworked to produce a scraper. Breakage opposite this edge is probably recent. The form resembles that of thumbnail scrapers ascribed to the Bronze Age, and this object may represent the reworking of earlier debris at that time. Suggested date: Late Neolothic to Early Bronze Age, 2900-1600 BC.Length: 15.7mm, Width: 24.6mm, Thickness: 10.4mm, Weight: 5.61gms.
