Description: | Flint borer or piercer, with the spurred end to the left side of the distal end, looking at the dorsal face. The borer is 'P'-shaped in plan, lozenge-shaped in section and triangular in profile. The borer has been unimarginally retouched on the left margin of the dorsal face, to create the spur, and the left margin of the ventral face, on the other side of the spur. There is also some retouch at the base of the right margin of the dorsal face, towards the proximal end.The flint is a mottled light grey to white colour, with some iron staining on the both faces, and the length to breadth ratio is about 3:2.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar borer on page 146, Fig.5.132, No.46, which is dated to the Beaker period.
