Description: | A Mesolithic flint flake, possibly used as a piercer or awl. The flake is of a pale grey to white colour with partial cortex remaining on the dorsal face which also exhibits some evidence of burning. Partial working is visible at the proximal end though this may reflect preparation of the striking platform rather than retouch for tool production. The bulb of percussion is clearly visible at the narrower proximal end of the flake. The flake measuers 21.2 mm in length, 10.1 mm wide and 5.1 mm thick. It weighs 0.9 grams.
