Description: | This is an end and side scraper formed on a flake with a sharpened edge. There is secondary cortex on the long distal margin. Abrupt, short retouch through the cortex from the dorsal face has created a blunted edge which is repeated on the left lateral margin. The left proximal margin has been retouched and thinned to create a sharp edge by the removal of three small flakes. The right lateral margin has been left naturally sharp after the removal of a flake from a ridge to the right of the concavity backing the cone on the ventral face. The flint is light grey to light brown in colour and the secondary cortex suggets that it was nodular in origin.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar tool on Page 56. Fig 5.22 Number iv which he places in the Neolithic period.
