Description: | Flint mulit-purpose tool. The object is a naturally irregular shaped flint with cortex covering most of the dorsal surface. Three flakes have been removed from the dorsal surface, and there is a patch of retouch along the left edge of the flint enabling it be used as a scraper or knife. The flint has a naturally poined distal end, containing cortex on both its ventral and dorsal surfaces. The point is rectangular in section, and the narrower sides have had secondary working, as has the tip, probably done so in order to make it into a perforator or awl. The ventral surface has one main flake removed.
