Description: | Flint scraper, triangular in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The right margin is denticulated with one small notched area. The left margin has been retouched. On the ventral side the distal tip and left margin have been retouched with the proximal end retouched into a large curve. It appears to be a combination tool for use as a scraper and piercer with a cutting edge. It is translucent mid brown in colour and has a waxy lustre.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig. 71, No. 7 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
