Description: | A complete lithic thumb scraper of Neolithic date designed to be held between your thumb and forefinger. The object is D-shaped in plan and section. The ventral surface is smooth with no visible bulb of percussion or ripples of percussion. The dorsal surface is irregular with some flakes removed during the shaping process producing negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal edge has been heavily worked to create the scraping edge which is fairly shallow and sloping along the right hand edge and is steeper along the left edge. The flint is a mid greyish-white colour with some lighter inclusions. The implement is 23.7mm long, 20.9mm wide, 5.3mm thick and weighs 3.4g.
