A flint scraper. This example is manufactured from the naturally occuring flint deposits on the Yorkshire Wolds. The flint is of an inferior quality and is not utilised that often in the manufacture of lithic implements. This example has a white patina and a section of the cutting edge has been removed recently, no doubt by the plough.
