Description: | A broad, quite thin flake of altered, burnt flint with a grey opaque colour with an orange and blue oxidation stain. This was quite a nice round scraper with retouch around the lateral margins and probably the distal end, but heat has broken this part off. This was not the end of use however, as a flat but rough facet has been ground into the break facet from a heavy grinding task.The crazed internal structure of the flint has been a useful property as it fractures to resharpen on heavy use. Butler(2005) illustrates a round scraper on page 166, fig 70, 4.
