Seven
stone scrapers were recovered.
These were likely hafted within a handle of bone or
wood. There is
considerable variation in the shape of these.
Most appear to have been produced by flaking a steep
scraping edge on random flakes of an appropriate thickness.
The six scrapers were found at several levels: Level
2 (n=1), Level 3 (n=1), Level 5, (n=2), Level 7 (n=1), Level
8 (n=1), Level 10 (n=1).
