SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: YORYM-DD92A2

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete flint disk scraper of Neolithic date (4300-2100 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in profile and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex with three predominant negative scars and short parallel flaking along the distal, left and right hand edges. The distal, left and right hand edges contain semi-abrupt retouch and the proximal edge has been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with a shallow bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake

The flint is cream in colour with light grey inclusions throughout.
