Description: | This piece is made on a concave flake. The ventral face has a bulb and no retouch. The dorsal face above the bulb is flat, leading up to a medial ridge with flake removals to either side. The distal end has abrupt retouch and is horned. The dorsal left margin has been "nibbled" at the top half down to a notch which ahs abrupt retouch within it. The dorsal right margin has been retouched along its whole length, the upper part "nibbled", the proximal half blunted opposite to the notch on the left margin. Conceivably this could ahve allowed for hafting around the bulb.It is made from a mottled orange/cream and blue/grey flint. It was probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm from its tertiary cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar tool on Page 135 Fig 59 No L147, which he places in the early Neolithic period and calls an end scraper.
