A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9000-2100 BC). The object is sub-spatulate in plan and bi-convex in section. The dorsal surface is slightly convex with two predominant negative scars. The proximal edge is blunted. The distal, left- and right-hand edges have semi-abrupt retouch. The distal edge forms a short projecting spur. The ventral surface is slightly convex. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
