A flint thumbnail scraper. This flint is a short and broad tool, following the late Neolithic transition from altering blades, to using more chunky pieces of flint with abrupt retouch. The retouch is on the sides and distal edges. It has a grey patina with some brown inclusion. It measures 15.5mm x 15.5mm x 6.7mm, weighing 1.93g. This flint is late Neolithic or Bronze Age in date. For an example see Chris Butler's 'Prehistoric flintwork', fig. 70.1,2.
