Description: | Borer or 'spurred piece' on brown pebble flint. The bulb has been removed from the ventral face leaving a denticulated platform edge at the proximal end. There are fresh partially adhering flakes on the ventral face. Step and hinged fracturing are also present. The dorsal face has a primary amount of cortex remaining which covers most of the face apart from the distal end where it has been removed. An awl type point has been created on the right margin of the distal end through retouch. Little 'nicks' have been removed from all along the distal end.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 53, Fig 5.29, L53 which dates to the Later Mesolithic/ Early Neolithic.
