SCRAPER (TOOL)

Unique ID: NARC-378629

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete flint Scraper of Mesolithic to Neolithic date (9000-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is convex and has two predominant negative scars. The right hand edge has short parallel flaking. All edges except the blunted proximal edge have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave and has ripples of percussion emanating from the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.

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

Length: 35.33mm, Width: 19.66mm, Thickness: 8.10mm, Weight: 6.4g.
