Description: | Black flint lithic implement. A sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved end, forming the working edge of a scraper. A further episode of short abrupt retouch executed from ther dorsal aspect follows part of one long edge where it is slightly indented. Though possibly intended to facilitate grip when using the scraper, this might also form a cutting edge, and possibly one suited to a left-handed user. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.Length: 39.5mm, Width: 29.3mm, Thickness: 8.5mm, Weight: 9.86gms.
