Description: | Grey flint with cortex and misty white patina, scraper. Thumbnail scraper with broad flakes trimmed from the dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge. The bulb is also trimmed, probably by two sharp strikes executed from the dorsal aspect onto the edge of the flake. The extent of patina may suggest the object endured a period of exposure after its deposition, but it is interrupted by battering along the working edge, which may suggest an episode of reuse. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.Length: 26.7mm, Width: 27.6mm, Thickness: 18.2mm, Weight: 10.97gms.
