Abstract

Dredged sediment from the valley of the Berkel river near Eibergen (Gelderland, the Netherlands) contained a complete and carefully retouched scraper made of Grand-Pressigny-flint. The scraper is made on a thick flake, possibly a preparation flake from a so-called ‘livre-de-beurre’ core. The object has not been used intensively. The scraper can be attributed to the Single Grave Culture (2850-2500 BC). The scraper differs from the usual imports of Grand-Pressigny-flint, namely daggers made of long blades and other tools made of their recycled fragments. There are no unambiguous parallels for the scraper’s morphology. How this scraper ended up in the archaeological record, circa 700 km from its source area, is unfortunately not clear.
