Title
end and side scraper (profile)
Description
English: A flint end-and-side scraper, lenticular in plan, trapezoidal in profile and plano-convex in section. A primary flake, wider than it is high, with cortex remaining on almost the entire dorsal face. The point of percussion is clearly visible in the centre of the proximal margin of the ventral face. There is a large bulb of percussion together with a small bulbar scar. The fracturing of the flake has produced an upturned edge around the distal end of the dorsal face, which is ideal for producing a scraper. Between eight and ten narrow vertical pressure flakes have been removed at this point to produce an abrupt edge. The surface of the ventral face has some parallel scratches running internally from this worked edge, which are signs of use-wear. The colour of the flint is a mottled light to dark grey and the texture of the cortex suggest that it was derived from a local beach pebble.

Bond (2004) illustrates similar end and side scrapers on pages 137 & 154, figs.5.124 & 5.135, nos.F18 & F122-123, which date from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age.
