| Title |
Palaeolithic side scraper (dorsal) |
||
| Description |
English: Large flint flake worked into a side scraper, semi-circular in plan, lozenge-shaped in profile and triangular in section. The scraper has a denticulated edge that runs along the right side of the ventral face and around to the distal tip of the flake. The same edge on the dorsal face has been frost-fractured and damaged to appear like reworking, but has only been worked at the proximal end. Most of the dorsal face is still covered in cortex.
The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour and looks to have come from a nodule of flint, rather than a beach pebble, which may have been brought into the county, or found its way via the seaways, as it was found close to Mounts Bay. Its length to breadth ratio is 2:1. Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 74, Fig.5.59, No.31, which is dated to the Lower Palaeolithic. |
