Description: | A secondary worked flint probably dating to the late Neolithic period, circa 2700-2350BC. Identified by Peter Reavil as a side-end scraper. The scraper is incomplete having suffered damaged to the proximal end resulting in a notched edge. Probably caused by plough damage. The flint is translucent and mid brown / grey in colour. Patches of cortex present on the dorsal side. Much of the dorsal side has suffered modern damaged, however, a stepped retouched is clearly visible along approximately 60% of the scraper edges. The ventral surface has a shallow bulb of percussion with conchoidal ripple marks visible and no evidence of retouching in antiquity. Two large modern removals are present but the ventral surface is otherwise smooth and shiny.Dimensions:Length: 32.45mm. Width: 25.60mm. Thickness: 4.79mm. Weight: 4.7g.
