Description: | An end scraper (or possible axe or adze) dating from the Neolithic period (circa 3500 - 2100 BC). The bulb of percussion and striking platform both survive on the ventral surface. Flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface before this flake itself was removed, forming shallow arrises. At the distal end of the dorsal surface a large amount of retouch has formed the end scraper. 70% of the surface is still coated with cortex, the flint is flawed.
