English: A large, sub-oval, flint, thumbnail scraper. The scraper has been made from a primary flake of dark brown flint. There is a flat striking platform and a clear bulb of percussion at the proximal end of the flake, with ripples of percussion across the ventral face.The dorsal face is largely covered in a thick, off-white cortex. The scraper has been abruptly and steeply pressure flaked around 40% of its edge. There is some recent damage to the proximal end of the dorsal face where a small area has been lost.

These types of thumbnail scrapers date to the Early Bronze Age.
