Description: | Flint scraper, almost round in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal end has semi-abrupt retouch. The proximal end is snapped with an abraded edge. The left margin is also abraded and the right margin has a low angle retouch giving a sharp edge. There has also been a large flake removed from the mesial section. On the ventral side the upper left edge has retouch scarring. The proximal end has a bulb of percussion, a flake removed and some damage to the edge.The flint has partially translucent bands of dark grey with opaque light grey sections in colour.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 166, Fig. 70, No. 8 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
