Title
Bronze Age flint scraper
Description
English: A scraper fabricated on a natural flake of mottled pale brown and grey flint. There are some small areas of cream-coloured cortex remaining on one face, the opposing face being covered by pale grey cortex. One edge of the flake and both ends have been extensively worked using a mixture of short, scaled, semi-abrupt and abrupt retouch to form scraping edges. This crude type of tool, utilising a natural flake, is typical of flint working during later Prehistory.
