Description: | Flint notched scraper, possibly formed from a core rejuvenation flake, of broad Mesolithic/Neolithic date (9000 - 2200 BC). The flint is mottled white/light grey in colour and is a tertiary flake. It is sub-rectangular in plan, sub-trapezoid in section, and has a curved profile. The dorsal face has possible evidence of narrow blade removals taken from the flat proximal end, suggesting the scraper has been formed from a core rejuvenation flake. A notch has been formed on the left hand side towards the distal end with evidence of soft hammer, short, sub-parallel, abrupt retouch. There is also a small area of similar retouch on the same side towards the proximal end of the flint. It is 71.2mm long x 30.3mm wide x 12.0mm thick. Weight 24.8g.
