Description: | A flint implement of Neolithic origin. The flint appears to have been broken in two with the remaining section missing the bulbar scar but retaining the typical ripple effect to the ventral surface, running down to the distal end. The dorsal surface has a central ridge with a secondary ridge formed by flake removal. Both long edges have normal re-touch and thus, this was probably a blade. However, the distal end would seem to indicate that the piece was re-worked and fashioned into a drill bit. The point is now rounded and the convex edges of the bit have conchoidal scars/bi-facial re-touch with evidence of wear. The material is a dark brown flint with multiple pale cream/white inclusions.
