Description: | Flint notched long end and side scraper, sub-rectangular in plan, trapezoidal in section and rhomboidal in profile. The scraper is bimarginally retouched on the dorsal and ventral faces, and at the distal end. The proximal end has been snapped off below the bulb of percussion and the medial ridge is stepped towards the proximal end. Two notches have been worked into the distal end at the same point on the opposing margins.The flint is a mottled light to dark grey colour and the length to breadth ratio is about 5:3.Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 132, Fig.5.118, No.F12, and on page 137, Fig.5.124, No.F22, which are dated to the Earlier Neolithic period. He also illustrates a later example on page 151, Fig.5.135, No.F125, which is dated to the Early Bronze Age.
