Title
Bronze Age retouched flake
Description
English: A Bronze Age retouched flint flake dating to the period c.2350-800 BC. The flake appears to be natural and has been retouched to produce a scraper. It exhibits one large negative flake scar on each surface. Both surfaces exhibit extensive natural damage around the edges in the form of crushing and natural chips which may have removed some of the humanly worked detail. The piece exhibits long, sub-parallel semi-abrupt retouch along one mesal edge and one end, however, the full extent cannot be assessed due to post-depositional damage. The flake retains c. 20% cortex on one face. The flint is a mottled semi-translucent light brown-grey with frequent inclusions.

It measures 25.58mm in length, 20.37mm in width, 6.92mm in thickness and weighs 7.15g.
