Description: | Flint end scraper. A stout crested blade with the proximal end and bulb of percussion removed by a sharp blow to the dorsal ridge. The left and right lateral margins of the bade carry abraded notches and retouch on the ventral side. There is semi invasive retouch on the distal end to give an end scraper. Some gloss on the dorsal surface indicates use of the right lateral margin as a knife. The flint is dark grey with mid and light grey mottling. A small patch of nodular cortex remains and suggests that the raw material was of high quality and collected or mined outside the county.Butler (2005) illustrates an end scraper on a broken flake on p.126, fig.50, no.4.
