Description: | Possibly Neolithic to Bronze Age (c. 4000 to 800 BC) debitage in the form of a tertiary flake: The dorsal surface has multiple linear negative scars. The distal end is rounded due to a flake being removed from the ventral face, and there is some possible retouch, both of which penetrate a patina to reveal a dark grey/black flint. However this may be due damage rather than intention. The proximal end is truncated and again may be due to damage, but a slight patina has started to develop over this end. The ventral face has conchoidal ripples, but no bulb of percussion. The dorsal and ventral faces have a well-developed mottled white/grey patina. 38.56mm x 18.45mm x 6.27mm, weighing 4.51g.The debitage appears to be a tertiary flake which has developed a patina and may have then been knapped to become a scraper, but this is not certain.
