Description: | A flint thumbnail scraper of Beaker period date (2400 - 2200 BC). This flint is a short and broad tool, following the late Neolithic transition from altering blades, to using more chunky pieces of flint with abrupt retouch. The flint is grey in colour with some areas of partial white patination and small areas of brown surface discolouring. It is a tertiary flake, oval in plan and sub-oval in section. There is short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt hard hammer retouch to all sides of the dorsal face. The flint is 25.5mm long x 21.9mm wide x 8.9mm thick and weighs 5.7g.
