Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A Late Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age (2500 BC - 1500 BC) flint end-scraper, measuring 44.7x50.6x13.3mm and weighing 35.94g. The flint is 100% heavily patinated white with spots of orange iron staining to both faces. A small area of recent damage at the right dorsal edge shows the unpatinated-flint to be a dark grey/ black in colour. The object has short, scaled, abrupt retouch to the bulbous right-hand edge of the wide dorsal distal end; otherwise there is lighter and shorter scaled semi-abrupt retouch along this edge. The right dorsal edge has slightly longer, scaled semi-abrupt retouch.
