Description: | A flint end-and-side scraper of light/mid-grey flint of Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date (c. 2500 - 1500 BC). It has been made on a primary flake, described as such since the dorsal face is covered in cortex with the exception of invasive areas of working along the sides. At the proximal end is a striking platform, with a bulbar scar, partially removed by a later flake. On the ventral face the bulb is shallow, as are the ripples, and the surface is slightly rough towards the distal end. The flake has a shallow S-shaped profile. There is short, scaled, (semi-)abrupt retouch to both sides on the dorsal face, with further retouch at the distal end less clear due to post-depositional damage.
