Description: | Borer/ piercer. This piece has been retouched on the dorsal face at the distal end to create a point. There are multiple flake scars on the dorsal face. Cortex still remains at a secondary level. The bulb of percussion is still present on the ventral face but no signs of retouch are present. The piercer, made of nodular flint, has been made on a rejuvenation flake and is dark grey in colour.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig 5.129, No F156 which dates to the Neolithic period.
