Description: | Flint scraper on a flake that is sub-rectangular in plan and profile and trapezoidal in section. The dorsal face has cortex. On the dorsal face there is abrupt retouch on the right margin in the medial section and towards the distal end. There is fine retouch on the left margin, with an angular notch below the medial section (i.e. towards the proximal end) possibly a result of damage. The flake tapers towards the proximal end. On the ventral face there are patches of gloss towards the distal end. The flint is dark olive-green and is translucent when held to the light. There is secondary cortex and it is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble.Bond (2004) shows a similar scraper on page 108, Figure 5.92, Number 130.
