SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: DUR-D1EE03

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A group of two scrapers of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Both lithics have fine semi-abrupt retouch to the distal, left and right hand edges. Neither lithic retains any cortex and they are therefore tertiary flakes

The flints are cream in colour.
