Description: | The scraper is a thumbnail scraper. These are dated to the Neolithic period, probably to the later Neolithic which dates to approximately 2500 to 2100 B.C. The scraper has been knapped from a mottled dark grey coloured flint. In plan the scraper is sub-circular. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around the side and lower edges. The upper edge has relatively fresh accidental scars. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has bulbar scars where the flint was struck. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 22.6mm long and is 23.8mm wide. It weighs 4.78g.
