Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Small, possibly soft hammer struck tertiary scraper of unpatinated mid-grey flint with fine semi-invasive to steep retouch to almost all edges, including the platform. Small scrapers like this have been recorded from Mesolithic contexts as well as Early Bronze Age, this may be more likely to be from the the earlier period, if indeed it is soft hammer struck; there is a charictaristic lip on what remains of the ventral face of the platform, and no bulbal scar is present.
