Record ID: KENT-3823D4
Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint side scraper. The scraper is a secondary flake as there is some remaining cortex on the dorsal side. A bulb of purcussion is present on the ventral side on proximal edge, and there are conchoidal ripple marks on the ventral face. There is short and invasive, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch on the doral side on the left edge. There is also short, scaled, low-angle retouch on the left edge of the ventral side. The scraper is brown in colour and semi-opaque. Side scrapers are rare on Mesolithic sites and common in the Early Neolithic.
