Description: | Most probably an end and side scraper of beach pebble origin. The scraper has been uni-facially retouched and expediently manufactured on a broken flake.The distal end of the dorsal face exhibits continuous retouch with a semi-abrupt angle, is of edge type in extent and extends in a continuous manner along the left margin. The morphology of the distal retouch is of sub-parallel type.Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral side and the bulb of percussion has been removed.The scraper is mid grey in colour with light grey mottling, is semi-circular in plan and plano-convex in profile and section.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on pg 126, fig 50, no 2 which dates to the Earlier Neolithic.
