SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: LIN-C9DEF6

Object type certainty: Certain

A flint thumbnail scraper. The scraper is oval in plan and pointed oval in cross-section with a flat striking platform at the proximal end. The ventral surface is smooth and it is difficult to see a bulb of percussion, though on is clearly visible on a smaller flake scar that runs from the striking platform. The smooth surface of the ventral surface may indicate that this is a worked pot-lid. The edge of the flake is abraded but small patches of retouch are visible. The flint is a chalky-white colour. The flint is probably Neolithic or Bronze Age in date.
