Description: | Flint scraper, almost round in plan and rod shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal end has a grooved fracture. The proximal end is partially snapped and retouched all the way along. The left margin has a notch and retouch scarring and is very sharp edged. The right margin has two depths of retouch. A flake has been removed from the centre. On the ventral side the distal end is notched and the right margin serrated. There is a bulbar scar. It appears to be a convex scraper on a struck flake.The flint is mid to light grey brown with two small areas of cream inclusions.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 132, Fig. 5.118, No. F.13 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
