Description: | A flint awl which probably dates from the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The flint is 38.9mm long, 22.01mm wide and 5.23mm thick. It weighs 5.08g. The point is formed on the distal right side of the tertiary flake. Abrupt retouch at the distal end was used to form a notch leaving a triangular point projecting to be used as the piercer. The retouch was done after the flake patinated. The flint is patinated to a white colour. Similar tools can be seen in "Prehistoric Flintwork" by Chris Butler.
