Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete late Neolithic or early Bronze Age flint implement, length 70mm, width 36mm, thickness 16mm, weight 41.5g. An end scraper on a thick decortication strip with parallel longitudinal edges. The dorsal surface contains many parallel-sided scars. One small piece of core remains. The distal end and right edge of the dorsal face of the implement has been worked to form a cutting or scraping edge. The ventral surface has not been worked. There is a reasonably well-pronounced bulb of percussion and a flat striking surface. The flint is dark grey with a blueish white patina. There is some orange/brown discolouration around the edges.
