Grey flint of good quality, possibly collected from the East Coast. Scraper, with hard hammer trimming of the dorsal side and a prominent bulb on the ventral; short to invasive abrupt and angled retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the curving edge. The lack of patina may suggest the incorporation of this object into a sealed context not long after its manufacture. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
