Title
Bronze Age flint scraper
Description
English: An early Bronze Age flint scraper.

Description: The scraper has been fabricated from a sub-oval primary flake of mid-brown flint. There is no visible bulb of percussion and only faint ripples of percussion across the ventral face. The dorsal face is largely covered in a thin, light brown cortex. The scraper has short, semi-abrupt, sub-parallel retouch around one end to create a scraping edge. These types of small scrapers date to the Early Bronze Age.
