SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: PUBLIC-ED5E5E
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
A scraper fabricated on a natural flake of dark grey flint. There are large areas of off-white cortex on both faces. The flake has been crudely worked around most of its circumference using long and short, scaled, abrupt retouch to create scraping edges. This crude type of tool, utilising a natural flake, is typical of flint working during later Prehistory.
