NEOLITHIC SCRAPER (TOOL)

-2500

Small discoidal flint scraper, light blue/grey in colour, appears to exhibit signs of being subjected to heat with the colouring. The dorsal face, proximal edge is flat, as if having been snapped off. All the remaining edges have been reotuched, the left margin possibly invasive. There appears to be a circular depression in the dorsal face, medial to proximal region (although not shown on the drawing). The ventral face is smooth with the bulb of percussion appearing to be present. The right side has a jagged groove in the surface of the ventral face, possible post use damage. There doesn't appear to be any signs of retouch on this side of the artefact. Similar in appearance to a button scraper.
