Description: | Flint scraper, sub triangular in plan and almost almond shaped in profile. The dorsal side surface has a lateral mesial ridge above which is a sparkly crystal concavity. The right margin is serrated and sharp edged. The left margin is unevenly snapped. The proximal end is part fractured and part serrated. On the ventral side the surface is flatter but with some uneven contours. There is also a small area of cortex.The flint has pale grey and cream tones with some mixed translucent and opaque areas and a secondary cream-coloured cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig. 71, No. 7 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
