SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: NLM-76F012
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey flint with thin cortex scraper. Leaf shaped flake with broad flake removal scar on its dorsal side and with a prominent bulb on its ventral. Short to invasive pressure flaked scalar retouch of the ventral side interrupts a light cloudy patina, extending along one edge of the flake incorporating a small notch. This may suggest the reworking of Late Neolithic debitage to produce an Early Bronze Age scraper. Suggested date: Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 2700-1600 BC.
Length: 43.7mm, Width: 18.2mm, Thickness: 7.1mm, Weight: 5.48gms.
Evidence of reuse: Interruption of patina by reworking
