Description: | The ventral face is flat with no apparent retouch. The bulb is just visible. The dorsal face ha sa flattened platform from which semi-abrupt and abrupt retouch creates a scraper edge all round. The piece is heavily abraded, but the retouch is most obvious on the left dorsal margin and at the distal end. The retouch on the right margin is across a lower area, but in places is seen to come from the dorsal platform.The piece is made from a grey flint with white or cream speckles. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble, by the look of its secondary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 128 Fig 53 Nos 4-9, which he called disc scraper and placed in the Neolithic period.Mercer has a similar piece on page 135 Fig 59 No L148.
