Description: | A Neolithic flint Horseshoe scraper dating to the period c. 4000 - 2351BC. The scraper is broadly ovular in plan and has been knapped from a secondary flake. It maintains two small patches of cortex, one at the proximal end, next to the striking platform and the other on the dorsal side at the distal end. The striking platform is lozengiform in shape with a bulb of percussion which exhibits a bulbar scar on the ventral surface and a large negative scar from previous flake removal on the dorsal surface. The dorsal surface exhibits six negative scars divided by five arrises. The scraper shows abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch at the distal end and extending up both lateral edges, on one eside, extending all the way to the bulb of percussion.
