Description: | Grey flint with cortex and dense patches of misty patina, scraper. Flake with broad flakes trimmed from the dorsal side and battering along its curved end, probably over the site of short angled scalar retouch. The extent of patina may suggest the object has endured a period of exposure after its deposition. It is disrupted along the longest thinnest edge, suggesting reuse of the object as a species of backed blade or knife. Both episodes may be accommodated within the Bronze Age. Suggested date: Bronze Age, 2350-800 BC.Length: 43.5mm, Width: 29.6mm, Thickness: 11.7mm, Weight: 12.86gms.
