Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Grey flint with reformed cortex, scraper. A small flake with broad flakes struck from the dorsal side to trim cortex, and with a bulbar and slightly concave ventral surface. A pale buff patina developed over the struck surface on the dorsal side, to be later interrupted by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect which follows a curved edge. This edge is itself interrupted by a more recent chip. Suggested date (embracing all episodes of working): Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
