Description: | A complete flint scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile and is plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted, the distal and left hand edge contain fine, semi-abrupt retouch and there is some shallow, parallel flaking along the distal edge. The ventral surface is smooth, slightly concave with two predominant negative scars. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a dark grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
