Description: | A short, thin flake of translucent brown flint, filled with cream grey and cream smokiness. The plan is square with a distal end terminated by a hinge. The left margin is trimmed by snapping but the right has been invasively retouched with sub-parallel narrow, slightly oblique scars.Being well within the 20mm size class it may be called a button or thumb nail scraper.The style of the retouch also suggest a Later Neolithic type, rather than the more abruptly retouched Mesolithic micro-scrapers.Butler(2005) illustrates button scrapers on page 166, fig.70, 1-3.
