SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: NARC-7EBA13

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An incomplete flint scraper of Neolithic to Bronze Age date (3350-1200 BC). The object is sub-triangular in plan and flat in section. Both the right and proximal edges have been abruptly blunted. The left hand edge have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The distal end tapers to a point.

The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.

The flint is grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
