Title
Bronze Age scraper
Description
English:

A knapped flint scraper of probable Bronze Age date (c.2350-800 BC). The piece is struck off a tertiary flake with no cortex remaining. The general form is very irregularly circular with a flake broader than it is long. The dorsal surface and sides exhibit multiple negative flake scars from previous removals from several different directions indicating a multi-platform core. The bulb of percussion on the ventral face has been almost removed by bulb scar but there are strong percussion ripples. There is scalar to sub-parallel, semi abrupt invasive retouch, becoming shallow towards the centre of the flint, running across the proximal half of the dorsal face. There is also sub-parallel semi-abrupt long retouch at the distal end on the dorsal face. The flint is high quality translucent dark brown with mid brown opaque mottling.

It is 33.6mm in length with a maximum width of 36.8mm, it is 11.6mm thick, with a weight of 14.30g
