The dorsal face (the face with the most scars) has retouch around a side and distal end, the upper edge forms a possible striking platform. The retouch is formed by long, narrow parallel negative scars. The angle of the retouch is c. 60 degrees. The ventral face (smooth face) has no retouch, but has concentric rings. The scraper, with the striking platform at the top, is 48.62mm long and is 23.1mm wide. It weighs 23.1g.The scraper probably dates to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age periods, c. 3500 to 1500 B.C.
