Description: | Grey flint with cortex scraper. Thick flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and similar working on the ventral. Invasive scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curving edge. A lack of patina may suggest the object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. The finder kindly suggests this may be a Mesolithic core, citing Butler [nd], Prehistoric Flintwork, page 87. This reporter would, however, see this as a later scraper. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.Length: 29.3mm, Width: 29.2mm, Thickness: 15.1mm, Weight: 14.24gms.
