SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: DUR-5B27DF

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A group of two flint, abruptly blunted Scrapers of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). Both of the lithics are sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. Both have semi-abrupt retouch to the left and right hands edges. Both proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. Lithic 1 retains a minor amount of cortex along the left hand dorsal edge and is therefore a secondary flake. Lithic 2 retains no cortex and is a tertiary flake.

The flint ranges in colour from light to dark grey.

Length: 21.84mm, Width: 13.69mm, Thickness: 6.12mm, Weight: 1.7g.
Length: 15.83mm, Width: 10.93mm, Thickness: 2.69mm, Weight: 0.6g.
