Description: | A lithic thumb scraper of Neolithic date designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. It has been broken across the middle. The break is worn. The surviving object is therefore D-shaped, with a D-shaped section. The edges show signs of being worked. The dorsal surface is flat and the worked edge is fairly shallow. The striking platform and bulb of percussion have been removed, but the ripples of percussion can still be seen. The flint is a light whitish-grey colour with some lighter flaws. There is an area of cortex remaining within the tool.
