Title
Bronze Age : Scraper
Description
English: A complete knapped lithic implement of late Bronze Age date, circa 1000 - 800BC. The implement is a crude scraper formed from a hard hammered secondary flake which is sub-ovate with a D-shaped section. The ventral surface is smooth displaying a striking platform and bulb of percussion with conchiodal fracture. The dorsal surface is irregular with a long flake having been removed from the left side. A large patch of cortex remains to the right side. Abrupt short, sub-parallel retouch is present along the distal edge and into the right side to form the scraping edge.

The flint is a mid-grey colour with patches of a lighter and dark inclusions. The implement is 48.3mm long, 30.6mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 9.6g.

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.
