Grey flint with cortex scraper, kindly identified as a transverse scraper by the finder. Thick sub-triangular flake with moderately dense patina on one side suggesting possible earlier working, then detached by an abrupt hard hammer impact from the side, thereafter accumulating a light cloudy patina on its ventral side. The edge opposite the latter impact appears as a broad hinged fracture. That smooth and curved edge then attracted short scalar retouch from the same side, possibly extending to the edges on parts of the ventral side. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
