Workflow

Pale grey opaque flint scraper. Flake with a flat dorsal surface and a bulb on the ventral side. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows all around the edge except for the striking platform, which was probably left to serve as a butt. A smaller scraper made in the same way was reported from the same find-spot (NLM-3394F9). Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
