Dark grey flint with cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, scraper. Thick flake with broad flakes removed from its dorsal side by hard hammer strike and with a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge and a protruding lobe. Further short scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect, or possibly damage from the use of the tool, also appears on limited zones of the putative working edge. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
