Size: Scraper 46 x 37 mm/1.8 x 1.4 ins., annotated card, 60 x 92 mm/2.4 x 3.6 ins.
Culture: Neolithic
Date: c. 3rd Millennium B.C.
Notes: Described as Upper Palaeolithic on the card, but a Neolithic date seems probable.
A nice example of the careful recording of even the humblest artefacts by early 20th Century collectors.
