Description: | Flint scraper, ovoid in plan and plano-convex in profile. Portland chert in appearance but fractured areas look slightly glassy so probably flint. It is evidently fire damaged as there are two areas of blistering in the centre of the dorsal side. The proximal end is snapped and the left and right margins and distal end are retouched. The upper right edge has had a flake removed. On the ventral side the left margin has been retouched and there is a large area of damage on the upper left and right margin.It is very dark grey black in colour.Pers comm. Anna Lawson JonesButler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 127, Fig. 51, No. 10 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
