Description: | Flint end scraper which has been damaged through heating. The damage can be seen on ventral side where part of the original flint flake has been blown out by the accidental heating process. There is abrupt retouch at the distal end, dorsal view, forming the end scraper. Also signs of damage through natural fracturing at the mid right hand margin, dorsal view. There is a partial bulb of percussion with strong ripples remaining on the ventral side.The flint is a mid grey, brownish colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 166, Fig 70, No.11 which is dated to the late Neolithic.
