Pale brown flint with cortex spot, scraper. A thick sub-triangular flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb at the wider end of its ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a long curving edge. Angled scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect trimmed the bulb; probably to facilitate use of the tool. One side may have been lost to a recent break. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
