Description: | An extended end variant scraper, mid-grey in colour with cream inclusions, which has been uni-facially retouched and is a formalised tool.The distal end exhibits continuous retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge extent. This retouch continues along the entire length of the right margin and partially along the left terminating before the mid-point.The retouch morphology is of sub-parallel type.A small notch has been crafted at the mid-way point of the left margin which also exhibits an area of gloss, possibly indicating use wear. Gloss is also present at the distal end and at the right margin of the dorsal face.There is partial retouch of low angle along the remainder of the left margin which may have been used as a cutting edge. Thinning has been carried out in the central area to allow for improved comfort whilst handling.The tool is has a faceted butt, is sub-oval in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. A well crafted tool.Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on p145, fig5.131, 1 and p132, 5,118, F11 which date to the late Neolithic.
