SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: PUBLIC-60B480

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete knapped lithic implement of Neolithic date, circa 4000 - 2350. The lithic is sub-circular in profile and plano-convex in section. It is light grey/brown in colour with pale inclusions. The dorsal surface is invasively flaked in a parallel pattern. The ventral surface is smooth with a small striking platform and a low bulb of percussion with ripples emanating from it. There is short, sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch to the left mesal. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.

Length 30mm, width 26mm, and thickness 11mm. Weight 9.5 gm
