Description: | Grey flint with cortex scraper. Flake with cortex on its dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows all around the edge except for the striking platform, which was perhaps left to serve as a butt. A larger scraper made in the same way was reported from the same find-spot (NLM-3387D6). Misty patina has accumulated on struck surfaces, suggesting this object endured a period of exposure after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.Length: 24.4mm, Width: 24.2mm, Thickness: 6.0mm, Weight: 5.00gms..
