Description: | Grey-buff flint with dense white patina, scraper. Flake with broad flakes trimmed from both sides and subsequently patinated, presumably through long exposure. This was followed by invasive angled scalar retouch executed from one side, which removed the patina. As no further patination occurred, the object may have been incorporated into sealed deposit shortly after its final deposition. The Early Bronze Age could accommodate all these episodes. The side opposite the working face is broken, probably recently. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.Length: 32.2mm, Width: 29.3mm, Thickness: 9.6mm, Weight: 10.64gms.
