Grey flint with cortex scraper. Oval flake with a broad flake struck from the dorsal side and a prominent bulb on the ventral. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge, with the initial trimming affording a thumb rest. Misty patina has developed over struck surfaces, suggesting the object was subject to weathering after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
