Description: | A Neolithic flint tool; an end and side scraper, which appears to have been manufactured on a rounded flake. The scraper is 35.6mm long and 30.3mm wide. It is a primary flake, with cortex covering c70% of the dorsal side. The cortex is pale grey; otherwise, the flint is dark grey, with a white band in the distal part. The platform is also bright white, and the area above the bulb on the ventral side is paler grey with orange flecks. Almost the entire perimeter of the dorsal side has been invasively retouched. On the ventral side, the bulb scars are faint. The platform is an irregular lozenge shape. A very similar scraper can be seen on p127 in Butler's "Prehistoric Flintwork" (2005).
