Pale grey-buff flint, scraper. A thumbnail scraper with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a wavy ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved end. Misty white patina on struck surfaces may suggest the object was exposed to a calcareous environment after its deposition; this is removed in small patches by probably recent impacts. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
