Title
Bronze Age : Scraper
Description
English: A complete knapped lithic implement of Bronze Age date, circa 2350 - 800 BC. The implement is a crude scraper formed from a tertiary flake which is subovate in both plan and section. The ventral surface is smooth with the bulb of percussion and striking platform remaining from which ripples of percussion radiate. The dorsal surface is irregular with numerous flakes having been removed and steeply abrupt retouch along the distal edge.

The flint is a dark orangey-brown colour with a large patch of a lighter chalky inclusion. The implement is 29.1mm long, 32mm wide, 9.7mm thick and weighs 10.9g.

Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are generally less chronologically distinctive than other artefact types. They had many different functions as they were very useful tools and were employed, for example, for skinning animals, removing the fatty deposit from hinds and much more.
