Description: | Flint pebble which has been retouched to form a scraper, probably an end and side scraper. On the dorsal face the cortex has been chipped through with abrupt, coarse retouching on the left hand edge and around the distal end. This retouching is bifacial as it can be seen at the distal end viewed from the ventral face. Also on the ventral face at the lower left hand edge there is some natural fracturing or abrasion. A considerable amount of cortex remains on the dorsal face.The flint is light grey in colour with creamy colour cortex 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 later Neolithic.
