SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: NLM-EA5D3D
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey flint with cortex spot scraper, kindly identified as a side scraper by the finder. Curved flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side, a bulb on the concave ventral side, and with short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect along its longest curving edge; a further short extent of very short abrupt retouch on the opposite long edge and scalar retouch on an aris between struck faces on the dorsal side may represent trimming to facilitate handling in use. The lack of patina may suggest this object was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.
Length: 48.5mm, Width: 19.8mm, Thickness: 10.9mm, Weight: 11.00gms.
