Description: | A small flint scraper dating to Early Neolithic period (c. 4000-3000 BC). The scraper is rounded shape and has been struck from a secondary flake and retains about 15% of the original cortex. The dorsal face shows three negative flake scars. There is no visible striking platform, which has probably been delated during the retouch phase. The ventral face exhibits a prominent bulb of percussion, indicative of hard hammer work. On the mesals and the proximal end is a invasive, scaled and sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch.The flint is a translucent light-grey. The scraper measures 29.95mm in length, 22.15mm in width, 6.74mm in thick and weights 4.25g.A similar scraper is illustrated by Butler C. (2005), p. 127, no. 2.
