Description: | Borer or Spurred Piece.The dorsal face of this piece is almost entirely covered in cortex apart from areas of abrupt retouch at the distal end. The retouch does not form a smooth edge but instead it is uneven forming a small point at the right distal end when looking at the dorsal face. The bulb of percussion is still present on the ventral face. There is minor retouch at the right of the distal end. The piece shows signs of heating but not at a temperature high enough to break the flint. It has been made on pebble flint which is light brown in colour.Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 58, Fig 5.29, L53 and page 143, Fig 5.129, F153 which are dated to the Later Neolithic.
