A complete flint oval scraper of Neolithic date (4500-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile, the dorsal surface has been partially flaked, with the retention of cortex in the centre. There is shallow retouch to the distal, left and right hand edges. The ventral surface is convex due to a bulb of percussion at the proximal end.
The flint is a light brown with light brown and orange inclusions throughout.
