Unique ID: NARC-EB6F27

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete Blunted Scraper of Neolithic date (3,450-1,200 BC). The object is Sub-ovate in plan and plano-convex section. The dorsal surface has two predominant negative scars. The distal edge short parallel flaking. The proximal end has been blunted. The distal end tapers to a curved edge. The distal, left and right hand sides have some semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly flat, and has one shallow negative scar, situated along the distal right hand edge.
The flint is brown in colour with orange inclusions throughout. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
