Complete small mesolithic end scraper, 10,000 BC-4001 BC. This is a triangular scraper, secondary flake with some remaining cortex along on edge. The distal end of the flake has been retouched with short, scaled, abrupt retouch to form the functional end of the implement. The dorsal surface has a few flake scars and a notable hinge fracture towards the proximal end. The ventral surface is smooth with some shallow rippling.
