Description: | Dark Grey Flint with white patination on an unworked edge, semi-translucent where thin. Possible Notched Scraper, as identified by the finder who cites PUBLIC-6BF7A5 as a close parallel. A bowl-shaped hollow at the edge, in the same location as a bulb on the other side of the flake, indicates sequential hard hammer strikes. The notching of the object is debateable, and lacks the evidence for pressure flaking around the curving notch, as was noted on an object of comparable use: NLM-174408. This piece also lacks the appearance of assured working which characterises most of the accompanying assemblage, though the material is similar. Suggested date: Possibly Bronze Age, 2250-800.Length: 32.0mm, Width: 31.1mm, Thickness: 10.7mm, Weight: 12.56gms
