Description: | Large, crudely flaked flint scraper. Made on a thick, secondary flake of mottled grey-brown and white flint. It has a mid-gloss patina two patches of yellowish nodule cortex on the dorsal surface. On the ventral surface is a large, scarred bulb of percussion. The striking platform has been flaked away. The dorsal surface has one main flaking scar with concoidal void at one end and several smaller scars. Around half of the circumference(on the thickest part of the scraper) has been coarsely and steeply flaked to produce working edge.
