Description: | A flint scraper of probable Early to Middle Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 3300 BC).The tool is roughly 'D-shaped' in plan and section and has been made from a tertiary flake of soft hammer production. Retouch to the rounded end is long, scaled and abrupt, with possible semi-abrupt retouch to left-hand mesial edge. Contact with alkaline soil has resulted in the formation of a mottled white surface. The bulb of percussion is absent from the proximal end, whose squared-off form may be the result of damage.Length: 34.4mm; width: 37.7mm; thickness: 13.9mm. Weight: 21.02g.
