Description: | It looks like an exhausted core but there are signs of retouch along one edge which indicates it was used as a scraper. Considerable damage and/or abrasion around the edges has practically obliterated any other signs of retouch or use wear. The ventral side is flat as if it had been chopped off. Some cortex remains on the dorsal side.The flint is a dense medium grey with a large splodge of lighter grey colour on one side and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 133, fig.58 No.L119 which is dated to the Neolithic.
