Neolithic flint end scraper
End-scraper made on a Levallois style flint blade. The flint is grey, contains many fossils and is unpatinated. No cortex is present. The platform is dihedral with evidence for normal impact. The retouch at the scraping edge radiates from the central axis at the distal end of the blade. Both the lengths of the blade show irregular bifacial chipping suggestive of utilisation as a knife.
