A complete flint scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface is slightly convex and contains 4 predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The proximal and distal ends have been blunted with abrupt retouching and the left and right edges contain short, parallel, semi- abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is flat. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is light brown in colour with cream and grey inclusions throughout. Dimensions: Length- 29.77, Width- …
