Dark brown flint with darker streaks, of good quality, scraper. Oval scraper with a prominent bulb of percussion suggesting hard hammer strike detaching it, and with short abrupt retouch around its curved edge. Of this, some was executed from the dorsal aspect but some, to judge from the shockwave patterns, was also executed from the ventral side. Suggested date: Early Bronze Age, 2350-1600 BC.
