Knapped flint scraper on a re-used primary flake. Possibly bronze age in date. Mass: 9.3g; length: 25.8mm; width: 27.1mm; thickness: 12.3mm. Gray/brown coloured flint. Dorsal face is approximately 50% cortex, with retouch around approximately 75% of the edge. There is a white patina covering the ventral face.

Broad period: PALAEOLITHIC
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A possible Upper Palaeolithic flint chopper / tool, possibly dating to between 40, 000 BC and 10, 000 BC. The find consists of a sub oval piece of a light brown flint nodule. It has been formed from either a flake of a large nodule or from the nodule itself. The flint tool has been damaged by movement in the soil due to plough roll and as such is badly abraded. There is a small amount of evidence of direct percussion (conchoidal ripples) to the distal edge, to potentially form a serrated edge. However this could be the result of damage due to plough roll. The flint t…
