Object type: SCRAPER (TOOL)
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A flint end scraper of likely Mesolithic date, dating to c.9000-3450 BC. Description: The flint is rectangular in plan and triangular in one cross section. and ovoid in the other. This is due to the ridge running along the body of the scraper, with either side sloping away from it to obverse edges with  short, stepped and low-angle retouch. The edges are still sharp to the touch. The top and bottom faces are flat with some very light retouch at the top. Concoidal rippling and negative flake scars are visible on the body. The reverse of the flint is f…
