Grey-buff flint with cortex scraper. Thumbnail scraper with broad flakes trimming cortex, a slightly concave ventral surface, and invasive scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect following its curved edge. The lack of patina may suggest this was incorporated into a sealed context shortly after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
