Description: | A scraper made on flint flake of probable Mesolithic date (7000-4000 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. All edges contain semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has distinct ripples of percussions emanating from the proximal end and some short scaled flake removals along proximal right hand edge. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.The flint is light grey in colour with dark grey inclusions throughout.
