Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Published
Flint end-scraper of probable Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date (7000 BC – 3000 BC). Length 58mm, width 20mm and 7.2mm thick. Weight 9.46g. The scraper is formed on a long creamy grey patinated blade. The ventral surface is plain and relatively flat and instead of a bulb of percussion being present, there is a large percussion scar. The ventral surface has a mesial ridge along the distal half and two arrises at the proximal end. These features were formed by the detachment of blades. The distal end has been retouched to form a working edge and the removals here are at an abrup…
