Description: | A flint Awl dating from the Mesolithic period. The awl is formed on a sub-oval microlithic flake of patinated flint. The point is at the proximal end on the medial ridge of the dorsal face. The right proximal end has abrupt retouch to form a notch which extenuates the point and there is a removal on the left side of the dorsal face to form the point. A similar example can be seen in Butler's Prehistoric Flintwork fig 44, number 12. The flake is 16.72mm long, 11.02mm wide and 1.8mm thick. It weighs 0.28g.
