Description: | A thumbnail or small concave scraper which is reddish-brown in colour, has been uni-facially retouched and expediently manufactured.The distal end exhibits continuous retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type extent. The retouch morphology is of sub-parallel type.This retouch continues along both lateral margins and terminates at the cortex area on the proximal end. Retouch does become of long type extent on the right margin however.The dimensions and form of the scraper allow for it to be termed a thumbnail variant.Concoidal ripples are present on the ventral face and the bulb of percussion has been removed.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar concave scraper on page 145, fig.5.131, No.7 which dates from the late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age..
