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 four predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted and the left hand and distal edges contain rough, irregular retouch. There is a small notch within the distal end of the right 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.
