Full Description
1969. Stray Find.
Found on field by [1] while hoeing strawberry runners:
1 Mesolithic flint scraper. Waisted waste flake with retouch on the end and sides to create an end scraper. Donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1969.648). Information from (S1) (see sketch on reverse). This discovery was reported in (S2).
This is possibly the 'miscellaneous implement' from a Walsis Farm "strawberry field" listed in (S3), although this is recorded as being in the possession of [1] (suggesting it is more likely to be a reference to a Mesolithic flint known to have been retained by the finder - see NHER 3030).
