Description: | Flint pebble, dull red on its outer surface, possibly crazed by burning: scraper. A coarse scraper made by hard hammer striking of large flakes from the dorsal side of a pebble which has a prominent bulb on the ventral surface. An area of battering - if not a natural irregularity - occurs on one struck surface. The other two opposed working edges or sites bear short scalar retouch trimming parts of their edges. A concavity between these sites at the butt is also trimmed. One corner bears invasive scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect, possibly marking the use of that part as a boring tool.
