SCRAPER (TOOL)
Unique ID: NLM-00507B
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Pale grey flint with cortex, scraper. An oval-ended flake with a broad flake removed by hard hammer strike from its dorsal side and with a flat and faintly rippled ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the long curved edge; cortex was perhaps retained to enable pressure to be exerted on the working edge. The object has sustained recent damage at one end of its ventral surface. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
