Prehistoric North Africa Neolithic Stone Scraper Tool

North Africa, Sahara Desert region, Neolithic period, ca. 8000 to 3000 BCE. A knapped chert stone tool of rounded oval form, its carefully worked edges likely serving as a scraper or cutting implement. The surface bears percussion flake scars, now worn smooth from long exposure to the elements, attesting to both its prehistoric use and millennia of weathering. Such a tool would have been indispensable to early pastoralist and hunter-gatherer communities of the Saharan region, used for tasks such as butchering game, processing hides, and other daily survival activities. Size: 2.25" Diameter (5.7 cm) Item # 194382
