A thick dark grey pebble flint flake with opaque cream flecks. It appears to have been derived from a core with parallel flake scars truncated from the left margin. The ventral surface has been facetted with bold peripheral removals. Some of the edge has been undercut by short step fractures and abrasion as a worn scraper. Butler(2005) illustrates a scraper on page 184, fig 75, 5.
