Description: | A crude flint thumbnail scraper of probable 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 predominantly white patinated with some patches of grey visible. Cortex survives on the right dorsal face. It is a secondary flint, sub-oval in plan and a pointed oval in section. There is short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt hard hammer retouch on the left side and distal end. The flint is 25.8mm long x 19.3mm wide x 7.2mm thick and weighs 3.4g.
