A complete knapped lithic implement of Mesolithic to Neolithic date, circa 7000 - 2300 BC. The implement is likely a scraper formed from a secondary flake which is sub-trapezoidal in plan and ovate in section. The ventral surface displays sub-parallel removals to one side and edge. The dorsal surface has an inward curved upper edge which displays short, scaled, semi-abrupt retouch. An irregular patch of cortex is retained. The flint is a mid-brown colour. The implement is 19.4mm long, 17.5mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 1.9g. Scrapers are fairly ubiquitous throughout prehistory and are…
