Description: | Flint scraper, elongated oval in plan and almost plano convex in profile. It appears to be a core piece with three surfaces adapted for use as a scraper. On the dorsal side the distal end has two lateral areas of retouch running across to the ventral edge. The proximal end is snapped. The left margin is spalled and the right retouched. On the ventral side the distal and proximal ends are abraded. The left and right margins are also spalled and abraded. The surface has conchoidal ripples emanating up to the distal end.The flint has mottled dark to mid grey tones with a cream tip to the proximal end.Butler (2005) illustrates similar example on page 107, Fig. 43, No. 12 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.
