Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late Mesolithic to middle Neolithic dark caramel to grey flint scraper or sub triangular arrowhead, with extensive working, fabricated from a secondary flake. The fact that a ripple that provides lateral grip has been left in place suggests that it was used as a scraper. However, it may be a poorly executed ogival leaf shaped arrowhead. Dates from c7000 to c2701 BC. Length 20mm, width 17mm, thickness 3mm, weight 1.1g.
