Description: | A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with a pronounced, central, longitudinally running arrise. The proximal end has been abruptly blunted. The distal, left and right hand edges have some semi-abrupt retouch. The right hand edge has a notched aspect towards the proximal end. The ventral surface retains a small bulb of percussion in the mesal portion.The flint is cream in colour with grey and brown inclusions throughout.The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex along the distal dorsal edge and is therefore a secondary flake.
