Description: | A scraper worked on the distal end of a large, broad and thin flake of fine dark brown flint. It appears to have been from an imported source of Devon nodular flint.The straight lateral edges of the tool are unworked and sharp but the distal end is semi-invasively worked to a convex plan and finished in fine abrupt retouch with a fine grind all around to strengthen the working edge leaving a continuous line of 0.5mm long removals.(illustrated)Chris Butler in 'Prehistoric Flintwork' illustrates similar well made scrapers on thin flakes on page 166, fig. 70
