END SCRAPER

Unique ID: HAMP-10FF36

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An early Neolithic end scraper of a dark, almost black flint. It is beautifully shaped, curving around thickly to reach a short straight side. This side has a triangular cut in it, presenting a small separate platform which is the only asymmetry in the object. All three large removals as well as retouch removals are visible, and the object is in very good condition, though there is some patinisation on the ventral face.
