Description: | This is an end scraper made on an edged flake. On the dorsal face there is a medial ridge from which flakes have been removed at a semi-abrupt angle to create a sharp edges at both margins. That on the right has worn down serrations. The serrations on the left upper margin are clearer. The lower left margin has denticulations. The serrations have been achieved by retouch from the ventral face and there is use-wear gloss visible on this face. The dorsal end has beenn blunted to create a scraper with abrupt retouch. It is a multi-purpose tool. The flint, with only tertiary cortex, is white to grey in colour with brown inclusions and may have been derived from a local beach pebble.A similar piece is illustrated in Mercer 1981 P 127. Fig 55 No L94 which he places in the early to middle Neolithic Age.
