Description: | A Neolithic side-scraper on a blade flake. It is sub-rectangular in shape, being slightly curved, and triangular in cross-section. The flake has broken at the proximal end, probably as a result of something going wrong during production of a blade, leading to the flake being repurposed as a scraper. The striking platform is missing due to this break. The length of one side edge has short, sub-parallel, low angle retouch, evidencing its use as a scraper.The flint is mainly dark brown in colour and translucent, becoming greyer and more opaque towards the distal end. It is 68.9mm long, 26.4mm wide, 8.5mm thick and weighs 13.09g.
