Description: | A flat flake segment of translucent tan flint with the proximal and distal ends removed and semi-invasive retouch all around the dorsal margin. The ventral margin has been discontinuously invasively retouched; perhaps from use damage or as a result of local resharpening. The piece looks a little like a historic period gunflint and tan flint sometimes is used but the edges are not bruised and the pattern of the object is unfamiliar.It is therefore suggested to be a prehistoric disc scraper. Butler(2005) illustrates one on page 128, fig 53, 8.
