Description: | A complete flint notched scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and is plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has been invasively flaked in an irregular scaled pattern. The proximal edge has been abruptly blunted and the distal, left and right hand edges contain fine, semi-abrupt retouch. There is a notched/ semi-circular recess and projecting spur in the distal aspect. The ventral surface is smooth with a shallow bulb of percussion situated at the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a mid-grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
