Description: | An Early Neolithic, notched flint scraper. The scraper has been fabricated from a secondary flake of dark brown flint. There is a clear bulb of percussion at the proximal end of the flake, with ripples of percussion across the ventral face. The dorsal face is free of cortex and has a large step-fracture, suggesting that the flake may have been originally struck to rejuvenate a core. There is a small amount of thick, off-white cortex remaining at one point on the edge of the flake. The flake has been worked along one edge using very fine pressure-flaking to create a shallow notch.
