Description: | Flint scraper on a flake that is sub-rectangular in plan, convex-concave in profile and near plano-convex in section. The dorsal face has semi-abrupt retouch on the distal end. The proximal end is truncated. The lower right margin (i.e. towards the proximal end) has an indentation that is not quite a notch and that might be due to retouch or damage. It tapers towards the proximal end. The cortex has been removed from the lower third of the dorsal face. Two shiny patches are visible on the ventral face. The flint is dark grey with some lighter areas and there is primary cortex. It is likley to have derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer (1981) shows a similar end scraper on page 133, Figure 5.8, Number L131 but his example lacks the removal of cortex from the lower part of the dorsal face.
