Description: | Blue-grey flint Scraper, as kindly identified by the finder. Ogival flake with soft hammer and pressure flaked invasive retouch on its dorsal side along its rounded end, and a markedly conchoidal bulb of percussion on the ventral side. The retouch interrupts a film of creamy patination but the ventral surface is entirely unpatinated. This may suggest a flake or core of Neolithic date reused to form a species of thumbnail scraper after a period of exposure. Suggested date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2700-1600 BC.Length: 35.0mm, Width: 22.8mm, Thickness: 13.5mm, Weight: 8.54gms.
