The right margin posseses partial retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type in extent. The morphology of both lateral margins retouch is of sub-parallel type.The right margin of the ventral face exhibits continuous retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type extent. Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral face and the bulb of percussion has been removed.The scraper is translucent brown and amber in colour although there is some patination of the left area of the dorsal face.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on P128, fig52, 4 which dates to the Early Neolithic.
