SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: NLM-71CF0B
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Dark grey flint with slight cloudy patina patches and with cortex scraper. Tiny thumbnail scraper with short abrupt retouch trimming cortex from the dorsal side and with light rippling on the ventral. The good condition and survival of a sharp spur of projecting flint may suggest this object to have been incorporated and remained in a sealed deposit until relatively shortly before its discovery. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
Length: 17.3mm, Width: 18.9mm, Thickness: 4.1mm, Weight: 1.55gms.
