Unique ID: YORYM-98716D

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete flint notched scraper of Neolithic date (4000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in profile and is plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has been invasively flaked in an irregular scaled pattern. All edges contain fine, semi-abrupt retouch. There is a notched/ semi-circular recess in the mesial portion of the left hand edge. The ventral surface is invasively flaked an is reasonably flat. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.

The flint is a light grey in colour with cream and dark grey inclusions throughout. The cortex is a orange/brown in colour.
