A resized image of A Neolithic flint tool: scraper (3500-2100BC)

A Neolithic flint tool: scraper (3500-2100BC). The scraper has been made on a secondary flake with approximately 5% of the cortex remaining. There are two flake removal scars on the dorsal surface. The distal end has an angled edge extending down the left side; working from the dorsal surface this edge has been retouched. There is some damage to the flake which is obscuring the detail of the retouch. The flint is mottled pale – dark grey with iron staining.

Dimensions: length: 30.46mm; width: 36.19mm; thickness: 5.36mm; weight: 7.34g.
