Description: | A complete knapped flint side and end-scraper of probable Neolithic or Bronze Age date, c. 4000-2500 BC. The scraper is sub-discoidal in form and demonstrates retouch around its entire circumference, excepting the platform. The scraper is un-patinated but demonstrates a reddish green colour and large white inclusions consistent with material that derives from clay-with-flints deposits. A large flake negative is visible on the dorsal surface, and the platform (lenticular in shape) has been partially chipped away, although the bulb of percussion and bulbar scar remain. The retouch is scalar in character and the removals are short, while the angle of retouch is semi-abrupt.Measurements (mm);Maximum length down percussion axis: 55.08Width at midpoint: 60.51Thickness at midpoint: 13.61Platform length: 28.56Weight (g): 50.83
