Description: | Flint end scraper, formed on a flake, asymmetrical teardrop-shaped in plan, convex-concave in profile and bi-convex in section. There is a distal point. On the dorsal face, there is retouch along the right margin. There is a broad, shallow notch in the medial range of the right margin, formed by retouch, which may have been intended for a specific application. If it is an end scraper, this notch would be of use in hafting. There is also a much smaller notch on the upper left margin. The proximal end has abrupt retouch, suggesting its use as an end scraper. On the ventral face there is a tiny patch of gloss towards the proximal end on the right hand side. The flint is dark olive-green. There is no cortex, so it is classed as tertiary.Bond (2004) shows a similar end scraper on page 137, Figure 5.124, Number 8.
