Description: | A Scraper of minimal size in fine brown translucent flint. The straight line of abrupt retouch is worked on one edge of a thin and nearly flat fragment of a larger tool. All the other edges are snapped breaks and the ventral surface is missing leaving a slight concavity which has been taken advantage of to give the scraper a keener edge. The dorsal surface carries a short line of equal invasive flake scars feathering into a larger but equally flat one coming from the opposite direction and likewise truncated at the proximal ends by the fragmentation of the piece. This finest completely invasive work is found on the best leaf arrowheads and some Beaker knives.Butler(2005) illustrates finely worked leaf arrowheads on p.124, fig.49 and Bond(2004) a fine invasively flaked knife on p.147,fig.5.133,f174.
