Description: | Grey-buff flint with cortex, misty white patina patches on the ventral surface only, scraper. Thumbnail scraper; short abrupt scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect trimmed cortex and followed one straight edge. It is possible that the cortex had previously been disrupted, and then re-accumulated, though this may have been fortuitous damage occurring over a geological timescale. The ventral surface bears a prominent bulb; the patina here is lacking on the part of the dorsal surface exposed by retouch, suggesting a lightly weathered flake from a previous episode of working was reused to make a tool. Suggested date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2700-1600 BC.Length: 23.3mm, Width: 23.5mm, Thickness: 8.0mm, Weight: 5.38gms.
