Description: | A flint scraper dating to the Neolithic period. The scraper is fabricated on a secondary flake of light brown flint. The ventral face has a clear bulb of percussion at the proximal end and ripples of percussion across the face. The dorsal face shows the scars of several previous flakes or blades having been removed in multiple directions. There are some small areas of off-white cortex remaining on the edges of the flake at the proximal end. The distal end of the flake has been worked into a concave scraping edge using short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch.
