Description: | The dorsal face has a flattened medial ridge and is convex with the left side flaked steeper than the right. There is abrupt retouch around the margins from the distal tip almost to the proximal butt on both margins. The retouch on both shoulders is long while that at the proximal end of both margins is very short. There is no retouch on the ventral face.The flint is dark brown with lighter inclusions. It was probably made from a local beach pebble, but has only tertiary cortex.Butler 2005 illustrates a similar piece on Page 127 Fig 51 No 8 which he calls a horseshoe scraper and places in the Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar piece on Page 145 Fig 5.131 No 13
