Description: | Flint end-and-side scraper, semi-circular in plan and profile and sub-rectangular in section, with unifacial retouch on the left margin from the proximal end and around the edge of the squared-off distal end of the dorsal face, up to the edge of a layer of cortex covering the right margin and proximal end and almost all of the dorsal face.The colour of the flint is a mottled light brown to light grey, and the colour and texture of the cortex, suggests that the flake was derived from a local beach pebble. There is also a small orange line of discolouration along the edge of the cortex at the proximal end of the ventral face.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar end scraper on page 141, Fig.5.127, No.5 which is dated from the Neolithic period.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar end-and-side scraper on page 128, Fig.53, No.2, which is dated from Neolithic period.
