status: Awaiting validation 
Grey flint scraper fragment. Thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a pronounced bulbar ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect follows a curved edge; about one third of the object is lost to what, from the extent of light patination over all struck surfaces, is an ancient break. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
