Description: | This piece is made on a concave flake. The concave ventral face has a bulb and slight retouch at the proximal left margin. The dorsal face is rough and pitted. This pasty shaped piece has a flattened left margin with a long flake removal or it has been snapped. The distal end and right margin has abrupt retouch to create a scraper.It is made from a clerical grey flint with light grey mottling. 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 133 Fig 58 No L124, which he places in the early Neolithic period and calls an end scraper. Butler (2004) has a similar piece on Page 128 Fig 53 No 2, which he calls an end and side scraper.
