Description: | Flint side and end scraper, formed on a flake that is sub-rhomboid in plan, plano-convex in profile and bi-convex in section. On the dorsal face there is semi-abrupt retouch on the distal edge and upper right margin. The left margin is sharp (with fine retouch on the right side of the ventral face). On the left margin there is a small, shallow notch towards the proximal end. There are fractures on the ventral face. There is primary cortex with a dark section that may indicate heating. It is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble.Butler (2005) shows a similar side and end scraper on page 126, Figure 54, Number 9.
