Description: | A Neolithic thumb scraper. The scraper has a shallow plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is circular in overall shape. It has been formed from a light brownish-grey flint. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed, but the ripples of percussion are still evident. No natural cortex remains. There are many shallow arrises. The upper half of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep and elaborate.
