A nicely worked scraper.

Post by Stubble trouble »

While out detecting on the high ground, which I have been lately, I do like to keep an eye out for worked flints.
I picked up plenty of debitage today, then near the end of the session found this nicely worked round scraper,probably dated to the Late Neolithic Period.
I really like these dark coloured flints, they really highlight the fine working.
Thanks for looking,
Rich. [81/]
