SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: NLM-4243BB
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Flint scraper. Rounded thick flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. Short angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving edge; battering appears near the bulb, an area probably serving as a pointed butt. Thick milky patina suggests the object endured long exposure to a calcareous environment after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
