Description: | 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 mottled grey and white in colour and is predominantly covered in opaque white patination. It is a tertiary flake, sub-triangular in plan and sub-rectangular in section. There is short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt hard hammer retouch to the sides and distal edges. The flint is 20.5mm long x 21mm wide x 7.7mm thick and weighs 3.9g.
