A complete flint Disk Scraper of Neolithic date (3450-2100 BC). The object is sub-ovate in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains four predominant negative scars. The proximal edge is abruptly blunted. All other edges have long parallel flaking and fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with one large negative scar at the proximal end and long scaled flaking along the proximal right hand edge.
The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The flint is dark grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout.
