Description: | Grey flint with dense misty patches of patina, scraper. Sub-triangular flake with broad and narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the shortest straight edge. A further episode of short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect forms or follows a slight hollow in one of the longer sides. The extent of patina may suggest the object was exposed to prolonged weathering after its eventual deposition; its initial formation and subsequent use might be accommodated within the Neolithic period. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.Length: 31.8mm, Width: 25.6mm, Thickness: 5mm, Weight: 3.84gms.
