Description: | A complete flint side scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and is concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. The left hand side is composed of retained cortex. The proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth, slightly concave with a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.The flint is a dark orange/brown in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is a mid-cream in colour.
