Title
Horse-shoe scraper
Description
English: A superb horse-shoe scraper worked on a hard hammer struck large, broad and relatively thin flake of translucent dark brown flint. A piece this size is likely to have come from imported Devon flint as local pebbles of this flint are smaller and often flawed. There is plenty of nodular flint and generous flakes of it on this find-spot in support of this idea. The platform was carefully prepared and is facetted. The dorsal surface is flattened by previous hard hammered feathered flaking but the fine retouch to curve the scraper edge was soft hammered. The work continues around part of the lateral margins and the edges converge towards the proximal end. Final finish is very fine and abrupt and at the distal end undercuts.Butler(2005) illustrates a horse-shoe scraper on page 166, fig 70, 4.
