Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete flint side scraper of Neolithic date (3350-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has two predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. A small section on the proximal edge has been abruptly blunted. All other edges contain fine, short, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with the exception of a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end
The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is cream and orange in colour
