Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete flint disk scraper of Neolithic date (3500-2100 BC). The lithic is sub-ovate in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface retains a large amount of cortex at the proximal end and has rough, semi-abrupt retouch along all other edges. The distal end has deep negative scars due to partial flaking in a scaled pattern. The ventral surface also retains a large amount of cortex at the proximal end, all other edges have short scaled flake removals. The lithic is a secondary flake.

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