Description: | A flint scraper of probable Early to Middle Neolithic date (c. 4000 - 3300 BC).The tool is roughly 'D-shaped' in plan, trapezoidal in section and has been made from a tertiary flake, probably of soft hammer production. The butt of the scraper has been removed, giving the tool a truncated appearance. Retouch, confined to the rounded distal end, is long, scaled and abrupt. Contact with alkaline soil has resulted in the formation of a white surface. Length: 28.4mm; width: 37mm; thickness: 8.8mm. Weight: 10.71g.
