Description: | An incomplete flint scraper of probable Early Neolithic date (3500 BC - 2900 BC). Length: 59.2mm; width: 6.1mm; thickness: 15.4mm; weight: 65.87g. The implement has been produced on a large flake and the ventral surface has a large bulb of percussion with ripples that are barely visible. The dorsal surface has large removals and the left side (as viewed from the front) has been re-touched to create a working surface forming a semi-abrupt angle with short stepped removals. A transverse break is partially in the form of a hinge fracture. The implement has a mottled dull grey patina.
