Description: | A complete flint side scraper of Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex with two predominant negative scars and a minor amount of retained cortex along the right hand, distal edge. The left and right hand edges contain irregular semi-abrupt retouch. The left hand edge, due to deep ripples of percussion is denticulated. The ventral surface is concave with shallow ripples of percussion emanating from the distal end. The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flakeThe flint is brown in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is cream in colour.
