Description: | Grey Flint of high quality, with cortex. Scraper. Oval plano-convex flake with long flake removal scars from hard hammer working and subsequent pressure flaking on its dorsal aspect; this working is partly interrupted by fortuitous impact damage to the outer edge. The retention of some cortex was probably deliberate, and is a trait of early flint work. The ventral aspect bears further long flake removal scars, some apparently running from a deliberately retained flat striking platform at one end. Suggested date: Neolithic, probably Early, 4000-3500. Length: 38.7mm, Width: 31.6mm, Thickness: 13.3mm, Weight: 17.14gms.
