Description: | Flint awl on a primary flake, dating from the Mesolithic period through to the Bronze Age.The outer face is almost entirely covered in the cortext surface. The piece has a triangular terminal at the top (as the photograph) which has been retouched along both edges to form the point. The lower end is the bulb of percussion and as such is wider and rounded at the base being 9.71mm wide compared to 3.7omm at the top. On one edge a triangular section has been taken out, it is difficult to tell if this was deliberate or is the shape of the flint naturally.It is difficult to date flint precisely when it has been found out of context as a stray find, so a broad date has been assigned to these.
