Description: | A flint scraper of probable Late Bronze Age or Iron Age date (1000 BC - AD 1). The translucent tan coloured flint is a secondary flake with cortex on the distal right side of the dorsal face and is not patinated. It is sub-triangular in plan and cross-section. There is a striking platform at the proximal end and short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch on the right side on the curved proximal corner. There are also some similar removals on the left side, a chip or notch, probably later damage, has removed most of the original edge. The scraper is 33.8mm long, 25.3mm wide and 7mm thick. 5.73g.
