Title
end and side scraper (distal end)
Description
English: The distal end of a broken flint end and side scraper, plano-convex in plan, rhomboidal in profile and triangular in section. The proximal half of the tool is missing, having been broken off in antiquity, and the ventral face is slightly concave in profile. The entire length of the remaining, curved edge has been retouched by the removal of many small, steep flakes on the dorsal face, suggesting that both margins of the dorsal face would have been worked further down their lengths. The facets of the resulting scraper edge have been worn smooth through use. The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour and likely derives from a local beach pebble.

Butler (2005) illustrates similar scrapers on page 128, fig.53, nos.2 & 4, which are dated from the Neolithic period.

Bond (2004) illustrates a similar parallel-sided scraper from Belle Tout, East Sussex on page 145, fig.5.131, no.12, and an end and side scraper from Windmill Hill, Avebury, Wiltshire on page 147, fig.5.132, no.F165, which date from the Beaker period, c.2700-1700 BC.
