Title: SCRAPER (TOOL) [Go to resource]
Description: Tear drop shaped piece of dark grey coloured flint with cream flecks in the material. Over 50% of the surface retains a dark coloured cortex, which is smooth to the touch and consistent with beach material. The dorsal face is divided in half, the left side retains the cortex, while the right has the cortex removed. There appears to be retouch above the medial of the right margin, producing what appears to be a scraper edge. The distal edge terminates as a point, while the proximal edge is relatively flat consistent with the remains of a striking platform. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and touch, a bulb of percussion is present at the right side of the proximal, with some gloss appearing along the right side of the face. Appears to be a cortex preparation flake reused as an implement. Probable scraper and/or piercer.
