SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: LIN-A61D86
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete end scraper of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The scraper is on a thick flake that has a concave ventral surface. No striking platform is visible, nor are any ripple marks. This suggests that the scraper is made from a natural piece, or perhaps on the end of a larger, now incomplete, plunging flake. Short, abrupt scaled retouch is noted along the sides and the distal end. The flit is dark brown/black.
