THUMB NAIL SCRAPER

Unique ID: GAT-C531F1

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Thumbnail scraper made from a pale brown-grey flint flake. There is some retouch evident on both sides. The bulb of percussion created when the flake was detached from the core is evident and forms the thickest part of the scraper. The arrowhead found in close proximity to the scraper appears to have been made from the same type of flint.
