Description: | A complete flint notched scraper of Mesolithic date (10000-4000 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars and a single central arrise. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted and the left, right and distal edges contain rough, irregular retouch. There is a semi-circular notch within the distal end of the left hand edge. The ventral surface is slightly convex with shallow ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a light cream in colour with grey inclusions throughout.
