Description: | Flint thumbnail scraper, plano-convex in plan, profile and section, with unifacial retouch on the right margin from the proximal end to the distal end of the dorsal face. The left margin is still covered by a rough layer of cortex.The colour of the flint is a mottled light brown to dark grey, and the colour and texture of the cortex remaining on the left margin, suggests the that the flake was derived from a local beach pebble.Bond (2004) illustrates similar thumbnail scrapers on pages 57 & 147, Figs.5.26 & 5.133, Nos.F36 & F168 which are dated from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age.
