Description: | Flint scraper formed on a flake that is sub-rectangular in plan, plano-convex in profile and section. On the dorsal face, the distal end has semi-abrupt retouch, suggesting use as an end scraper. The proximal end is more rounded and is heavily scarred, probably as a result of natural abrasion. There is one section of abrupt retouch at the proximal end. The right margin is sharp, especially where it is uncorticated. The flint is dark grey, with pale mottling. There is primary cortex, cream in colour, and it is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble.Bond (2004) has a scraper with limited resemblance on page 141, Figure 5.127, Number 11.
