Description: | Flint scraper, could be called concave/hollow//end scraper , with abrupt retouching at the distal end. A flake has been removed from dorsal side which gives a thinning/concave effect. There is an accidental snap at the proximal and a fracture on left hand side, which is probably natural. Most likely an end scraper. No cortex can be seen.The flint is a grey mottled colour with inclusions of a creamy brown colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 184, fig 75, No 3 which is dated to the later Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.
