SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: KENT-37EB65

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A probable flint short broad scraper. The scraper is a tertiary flake as there is no remaining cortex. On the ventral face on the distal edge there is short, scaled, abrupt retouch as well as some invasive, scaled, low angle retouch. There is more short, scaled, abrupt retouch on the left edge and some short, parallel, abrupt retouch on the right edge. On the dorsal face there is some invasive, scaled, low angle retouch towards the proximal end on the left, right and proximal edges. There is further short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch on the distal and left edges. Short, broad scrapers have extensive retouch and are dated to the late Neolithic period.
