Unique ID: DUR-3A58C9

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete flint scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concaveo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. All four edges contain some, rough, semi abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly smooth. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.

The flint is a grey in colour with dark grey inclusions throughout.
