Title
Bronze Age flint scraper (modified 'pot lid')
Description
English: Probably a patinated white flint, with a black core, multi tool. Possibly a natural 'pot lid' modified to perform as a scraper and/or fletcher. It has a number of flakes removed from the ventral face. The obvious large removal would have served well as a bark peeler or similar for manufacturing arrows. Possibly Bronze Age (c2100 to c800 BC) but impossible to date accurately. See also LANCUM-04DF03 & LANCUM-052650.

The length is 31mm, width 24mm, thickness 7mm, and the weight is 4.07g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) East Riding of Yorkshire
Date between 2100 BC and 800 BC
