Description: | A complete flint scraper/blade of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars and corresponding arrises. All edges contain partial scaled flaking and semi-abrupt retouch. There is a recess within the mesial left hand portion creating a notched aspect. The ventral surface is predominantly smooth with some shallow ripples of percussion emanating from the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a reddish brown in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
