Description: | This is a small worked flake forming a double side scraper, probably of Neolithic origin. The ventral surface is marked by a distinct bulb of percussion and the resultant 'ripple' effect running to the distal end. There is a fragment of cortex remaining on the proximal end. The dorsal surface has pronounced divergent dorsal scar with an area of percussion ripple from previous removal. This implement has two distinct retouched sides, one being convex and the other, straight. Both edges have 'normal' retouch at an angle to the ventral surface of about 60 deg. Close examination of the distal edge, reveals a very fine retouch from the dorsal surface, forming a chisel like edge. This is then, a small but complex implement with a diversity of use. The material is pale grey/cream with darker patchy inclusions.
