Description: | A large Neolithic tool possibly a scraper, which has been elaborately worked. The scraper has a plano-convex section, with one flat side and one convex. The flint is oval in shape. It has been formed from a light greyish-brown flint, with creamy-white flaws within the flake matrix. The bulb of percussion and striking platform have both been removed. The dorsal surface is still coated with +25% natural cortex. There are also some steep arrises. The upper end of the ventral surface has been heavily retouched, forming a scraper end (it is usually the dorsal surface). The retouch is steep.
