Description: | An end scraper, cream in colour with brown ribbons, which has been uni-facially retouched and expediently manufactured.The distal end exhibits continuous retouch of semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type in extent. There is also partial retouch of an abrupt angle to the left margin, which in conjunction with extensive cortex cover aids in handling comfort. All retouch possesses a sub-parallel morphology. There is gloss in evidence to the proximal end suggesting use wear.Material may have been removed from the intersect of the proximal and left margin to giver borer functionality.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on p166, fig 70, 11 which dates to the Late Neolithic.
