Description: | Scraper formed from a secondary flake struck off a prepared platform, probably Neolithic. On the ventral face the bulb of percussion is clearly visible, along with several percussion waves. On the dorsal face, the majority of the left side of the central arris is cortex so that around 25% cortex remains on the tool. Several other arrises suggest multiple previous removals occurred. There is long, shallow scalar retouch around the distal end of the dorsal face. Several modern chips reveal the flint to be a dark grey colour. The flake measures 49.0mm long, 42.2mm wide and 11.9mm thick. It weighs 25.62 grams.
