Description: | A complete mesolithic flint flake scraper. It is an uneven but rounded in shape. Previous removals can be seen as scars on the dorsal surface, all in the same direction as the ripple marks on the ventral surface. There is also possible retouching on the dorsal surface edges. The scraper is a curving and triangular in section and it measures 68.3mm (length) x 51.4mm (width) x 6.8mm (thickness) and weighs 20.70g.Jon Cotton suggests that this flake is a re-used thinning flake from an adze, which explains its uneven shape and curving profile.
