Description: | Flint flake scraper or bladelet, sub-oval in plan, and trapezoidal in profile and in section. Long flakes have been taken off the dorsal face, vertically, from the proximal to the distal end, and laterally from the edge of the cortex to the unimarginally reworked left edge of the dorsal face. The dorsal margin of the proximal end has also been worked and the distal end has been snapped off. The flint is a mottled light grey colour with cortex surviving along the right edge of the dorsal face and the length to breadth ratio is exactly 2:1.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar bladelet on page 114, Fig.5.98, No.L48, and similar flake scrapers on page 116, Fig.5.100 , Nos.10 & 15, which are all dated to the Later Mesolithic period.
