Description: | Flint scraper made on a core, prismatic and used as a source of broad blades. There are two striking platforms set at 90 degrees to each other. An area of cortex survives on one face and the main striking platform bears traces of battering. The core was recorticated and then re-used as a scraper with a 10mm length of short, scaled, abrupt retouch cut through the recortication to reveal the translucent, grey flint (marked 'R' on the image). The core is likely to be of Early Neolithic date, the re-use of an existing flint is likely to have occurred in the Bronze Age.Length 37.4mm, Width 28.0mm, Thickness 19.2mm, Mass 22.06g
