Description: | The ventral face has ripples and a bulb. The dorsal face is completely covered with a thin cortex layer. The proximal end has abrupt retouch and a shallow notch. The distal end and shoulders and right margin have abrupt retouch, the distal end having a shallow notch. There is some abrupt retouch on the left shoulder with a small notch and the rest of the margin is "pecked".The piece is made from clerical grey flint. 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 52 No 1 which he dates to the early Neolithic and calls an end scraper on a thermal flake, but this one is not heat treated.
