Later Neolithic or Early Bronze Age flint knife or possibly scraper made on a secondary flake. It is oval in shape with a slight point at the distal end which is damaged from a modern chip. This modern chip shows the flint is dark grey although the surface is covered by a white patina. There is part of the bulb of percussion and ripples on the ventral face although the striking platform and edge of the bulb has been lost to retouch and chipping. The dorsal face is covered in cortex apart from the edge which has medium length semi-parallel and scalar retouch around both edges and ends …

Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: The City of Brighton and Hove
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly naturally formed flake with evidence of retouch around parts of the outer edge. The flake has small areas of natural cortex on the edges. One side is orange with a patina associated with glacial and water weathering, similar to that seen on Paleolithic material. The other side does not have a clear bulb of percussion or ripples and may be a natural 'pot lid' fracture. However at two places around the edge are areas of short semi abrupt scalar retouch suggesting it was reworked for casual tool use. It is 38.4mm by 37.8mm by 6.0mm thick and weighs 10.24 grams. It is hard to date…
