Description: | A flint scraper formed on a flake of secondary debitage, dating to the Neolithic period. The object is plano-convex in cross-section and irregular in plan. It curves slightly in profile. Less than 20% of the original cortex remains on the upper face of the object. Both of the long edges have been retouched. There is a small notch out of the side at the proximal end which is likely to be a break rather than deliberate. The flake is formed on a blade of dark grey flint.This object and LVPL-OFD487 have been found in association with LVPL-FE45E5 and have been made from the same flint raw material they therefore could possibly be associated with the making of LVPL-FE45E5 (peers comm. Ron Cowell).The object is local riverine derived glacial flint that is abundant in the stream beds in the area.
