Description: | A flint scraper of probable Middle to Late Bronze Age date.The rounded scraper is on a secondary, broadly pear-shaped, irregular flake. Retouch to the distal end and sides is long, sub-parallel and semi-abrupt. Adjacent to the striking platform, the ventral surface displays a pronounced bulb-of-percussion and conchoidal fracture, both of which are indicative of hard hammer production. The flint surface is a heavily recorticated, mottled white, which suggests deposition within an alkaline environment.Length: 38.1mm; width: 28.9mm; thickness: 9.5mm. Weight: 11.2g.
