Description: | A knapped flint scraper. The flint is an opaque brown colour. In plan it is a sub-rectangle shape. The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has two vertical negative scars and has retouch around the side and lower edge, the upper edge is a recent broken edge. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The ventral face (smooth face) has some retouch, concentric rings and more recent damage. The scraper is 38.39mm long and is 25.08mm wide. It weighs 5.5g. The scraper is probably an end scraper dating to the Neolithic period, c. 3500 to c. 2100 B.C.
