The retouch morphology of this margin is of sub-parallel type.This retouch continues partially along both lateral margins.Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral face and the bulb of percussion has been removed.Cortex remains on approx 20% of the dorsal face which, together, with thinning of the left area of the dorsal face aids in comfort when handling.The scraper is cream in colour, sub-circular in plan and plano-convex in sectionButler (2005) illustrates a similar example on p128, fig 53, 3 which dates to the Early Neolithic.
