Description: | The dorsal face has abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch around the whole margin from the proximal end which ha sa hinge fracture. The result is a rather sharp edge for a scraper.The flint is light to clerical grey in colour with black veins and white flecks. It has only tertiary cortex which means that the origin is problematic, but it was probably from a beach pebble.Butler P166 Fig 70 No 1 illustrates a similar button scraper which he dates to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age.
