Description: | A semi-abruptly worked scraper in 2 straight lengths with an unworked denticule in between. The flake has a natural deeply white patinated frost fractured 'dorsal' surface. The ventral surface is boldy worked with 2 converging hinged removals and 2 feathered, all revealing the unpatinated grey mottled flint. The flint appears to have been harvested from an old land surface overlying a flint bearing geology and reworked as a core for flakes before the pointed end of the wedge shaped remainder was retouched as an end scraper. Butler(2005) illustrates a scraper on a thermal flake on page 128. fig. 52,1.
