Description: | A short, thick flake of heat damaged and altered colour opaque grey flint. It has been worked into a scraper before being left in a fire to spall out some pot-lids.Unusually the retouch has been worked on the ventral surface of the flake.It is semi-abrupt around the left margin and extends on to the striking platform. On the straight right margin there is bifacially blunting retouch on the otherwise sharp edge, adding a safe grip to this innovatively worked tool.Butler(2005) illustrates scrapers on short flakes on page 127, fig 51.
