Title
Neolithic backed side scraper (profile)
Description
English: Flint backed side scraper semi-circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile and section. The scraper has been unifacially reworked on the right edge of the dorsal face, from the proximal to the distal end, and naturally truncated on the left edge where cortex remains from the original edge of the flint pebble. The ventral face retains the bulb of percussion at the proximal end.

The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour, made from a local beach pebble, with some of the orignal cortex remaining on the left edge of the dorsal face, from the proximal to the distal end. The length to breadth ratio is about 5:4.

Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 145, Fig.5.131, No.7, which is dated to the Beaker period; and another on page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F130, which is dated to the Early Bronze Age.
