Description: | A flint scraper of probable Bronze Age date.The rounded scraper is on a tertiary flake and is sub-oval in plan, with possible damage at the proximal end, where there is a portion of the striking platform and adjacent bulb-of-percussion. Retouch is clearest at the distal end and is long, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt; it seems likely that right- and left-hand sides also have short, abrupt retouch. The flint surface is a heavily recorticated, mottled white which is indicative of deposition within an alkaline environment.Length: 53.2mm; width: 35mm; thickness: 11.4mm. Weight: 21.54g.
