Description: | A complete flint scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is a semi-circular scraper and is plano-convex in section.The dorsal surface contains one predominant central negative scar and is invasively flaked in a parallel pattern. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted, the distal, left hand right hand edges contain fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth, slightly concave with a small bulb of percussion situated at the left hand side and ripples of percussion emanating from it. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a light grey in colour with dark grey inclusions throughout.
