Title
Bronze Age retouched flake
Description
English: A Bronze Age retouched flint flake, dating to the period c. 2350-800 BC. This was probably used as a scraper. The flake exhibits negative flake removal scars on both faces. The dorsal surface exhibits two parallel negative flake removal scars and the ventral surface exhibits a single negative flake removal scar. One face also exhibits abrupt, short, sub-parallel retouch along c. 25% of its edge. It is a secondary flake as it retains c.<10% cortex of its entire surface area. It is very dark grey in colour.

It measures 20.90mm in length, 19.07mm in width, 7.21mm in thickness and weighs 3.16g.
