Title
Early Iron Age Scraper
Description
English: A small flint end scraper, almost square in shape at the distal end, before widening into a semi-circular proximal scraping and cutting surface. On the dorsal face this effect is somewhat marred by the presence of a relatively large amount of the cortex remaining at the proximal end. The flint is an irregular biface, with the ventral face very flat and smooth, despite a curve in the flint which is not really visible but may be felt. The flint itself is a grey colour, with areas of both lighter and darker grey shades, while the cortex is brown with an almost white surface showing through, probably chalk. A parallel may be found in Bond (2004, 159; ref. 9) which suggests that this scraper dates from the Early Iron Age, although it could have been curated from an earlier Neolithic lithic scatter.
