Description: | Opaque grey flint hollow scraper fragment. Curved flat flake with broad flakes trimmed from the dorsal side and flat on the ventral. Short abrupt scalar retouch follows the concave edge of the flake and continues around its rounded end; its further exten is lost along with one side of the object, due to a hinge fracture. This might have been a deliberate modification to permit pressure to be brought to bear on that surface. The appearance of retouch executed along the concave edge from the dorsal aspect may rather be the result of damage while in use. The lack of patina may indicate this was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.Length: 33.9mm, Width: 19.3mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 4.14gms.
