Description: | The ventral face has a clearly visible bulb. The dorsal face has ripples from three blade removals towards a flat distal margin. The proximal right margin has been retouched from the ventral face with "pecked" abrupt retouch. The left margin has a flattened (snapped?) edge. The apex of the proximal margin is possibly a damaged awl point. But this piece is most likely a scraper.The piece is made from a dark brown flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 127 Fig 51 No 12 which he dates to the Neolithic era and calls an end scraper.
