Description: | An end scraper on a hard hammer-struck broad flake of mottled grey and cream flecked flint with brown rings. Retouch is through the pebble cortex and extends part way around the right margin.Between the dorsal ridges is a strongly adhering diagonal line of a black shiny deposit which appears old and may be original. Certainly it is close to a notch on the left margin. Turning the piece over reveals that this is the second of three semi invasive flake removals. The nearest to the proximal end has a patch of use gloss extending towards the centre of the ventral surface of this utilised flake.Butler(2005) illustrates a scraper/notch combination tool on page 169, fig.71,5.
