Description: | A Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint end and side scraper. Secondary flake - a small amount of cortex remains on the dorsal face. Struck using a hard hammer. It is sub-ovoid in shape and roughly sub-triangular in cross-section. Several rough flakes have been removed from the proximal end of the dorsal face, possibly deliberately to help secure the object when in use. There is a small amount of semi-abrupt, long, sub-parallel retouch along the right side of the dorsal face, with some abrupt, short, scaled retouch along the end. A further small notch has been removed from the centre of the right side. The flint is dark grey in colour with a milky, speckled patina that has been removed where the flint has been worked.Length: 42.0mm, width: 23.2mm, thickness: 13.0mm, weight: 13.17g
