Description: | Flint scraper, almost ovoid in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. The dorsal side has parallel medial ridges tapering to meet at the distal end which is heavily abraded. The proximal end is snapped with retouching on the edge. The upper left margin is notched and the right margin is angle snapped. On the ventral side the distal end is invasively retouched. The right end of the proximal end has been retouched. It appears to be a convex scraper on a struck flake.The flint is near uniform pale grey white with some tiny dark flecks in colour. There is also some gloss and iron staining.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 132, Fig. 5.118, No. F.3 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
