Description: | A complete flint semi-circular scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is slightly concave due to a large negative scar with ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end and short parallel flaking along all but the proximal edge which has been abruptly blunted. All edges have fine semi/abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth and slightly convex due to a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is a light brown in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
