Description: | Flint scraper and awl, with spurred end to the left of the proximal end and the bulb of percussion. The scraper is 'P'-shaped in plan, triangular in section and lozenge-shaped in profile. The scraper has been unimarginally retouched on the dorsal face of the distal curve, but more than half of the implement, including the proximal end, has been altered through frost fracture so that is is difficult to make out any reworking or shaping into the present point.The is a mottled light grey to honey colour, and the length to breadth ratio is about 4:3.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar awl or piercer on page 143, Fig.5.129, No.F156, which is dated to the Later Neolithic period, and a similar scraper on page 147, Fig.5.133, No.F170, which is dated to the Beaker period.
