Description: | Lithic awl worked on the distal end of a waste flake. The Awl is probably of late Mesolithic or early Neolithic date due to the quantity of blades and blade cores present at the same find spot. The distal end has been retouched in several directions to form a point which would have been used for piercing. An awl is a type of borer used for less heavy duty work (for example, leather working). The flint is unpatinated and has some post-depositional damage due to agricultural activity (chipped edges). The dimensions are 51.7mm long, 21.29mm wide, 8.26mm thick and it weighs 7.05 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
