Title
Bronze Age flint scraper
Description
English: A scraper fabricated on a natural flake of dark brown flint, recorticated to an orange colour on one face and with extensive, cream-coloured cortex remaining on the opposing face. The flake is sub-triangular in plan with one edge worked using short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch to form a scraping edge. The rest of the flake is unworked. .This crude type of tool, utilising a natural flake, is typical of flint working during later Prehistory.
