Description: | A large Neolithic scraper, which has been elaborately worked. The scraper has a plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is a rounded tear-dropped shape over all. It has been formed from a mid orangey-brown flint, with creamy-grey flaws within the flake matrix. The bulb of percussion and striking platform are both evident. The dorsal surface is still coated with 5% natural cortex. There are also some steep arrises. The upper end of the dorsal surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end. The retouch is steep.
