Description: | A large clumsy looking flint flake with some shallow retouch on proximal end to form it into a scraper. There is a considerable amount of cortex remaining on the dorsal face. This cortex has a natural rough edge, not retouche. On the ventral face gloss from use wear can be seen at proximal where the flake was used as a scraper.The flint is a messy medium grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 132 Fig 5.118, No.F.119 which is dated to the Neolithic.
