Description: | A side variant scraper, mottled grey in colour with cream inclusions, which has been uni-facially retouched and expediently manufactured.The left margin of the dorsal face exhibits partial retouch with a semi-abrupt angle and is of edge type extent. The retouch morphology of this margin is of sub-parallel type. Retouch is also present on the right margin but is discontinuous in distribution and of low angle, possibly to assist in cutting edge function.This flint has been subject to spalling through heat action and this has resulted in loss of material on the ventral face along the right margin. There is also a band of gloss on the central and right area of the ventral face indicating possible use wear.Bond (2005) illustrates a similar example on p132, fig5.118, F3 which dates to the Early Neolithic.
