Description: | Flake of local greensand chert worked into a scraper with polish from use wear on ventral face at proximal end. As seen from the ventral side there is a fault line in the chert and it has broken accidentally along the left hand edge; break possibly due to the natural fault in the chert. There is natural fracturing at the distal end and there has been retouch on the right hand edge, dorsal side, which has made it into a scraper. There is also evidence trimming along the left hand edge , dorsal view.The chert is a medium grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 133, fig.58, No.L120 which is dated to the Neolithic.
