Title
Bronze Age scraper
Description
English: A Neolithic or Early Bronze Age chert scraper dating to the period c. 2350 - 1600 BC. The piece is struck off a tertiary flake and retains no cortex. The dorsal surface exhibits three negative flake scars from previous flake removal. The distal end exhibits evidence of long, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch, the full extent of which is not possible to discern due to subsequent damage to the distal end. The flake exhibits a broad striking platform. The ventral surface has a low bulb of percussion. The chert is light grey in colour with occasional spots of iron staining.

The piece measures 22.06mm in length, 22.59mm in width, is 9.55mm thick and weighs 4.66g.
