Description: | A flake of slightly opaque grey and cream filled translucent brown flint. The proximal end is truncated.There are sub-parallel scars on the dorsal surface. The plunging flake truncates other flake facets and leaves a point where the margins converge and the distal facet is abruptly edged like an end scraper. The right distal margin of the dorsal side is also finely retouched so perhaps the point was used as a piercer.Butler(2005) illustrates points from the Early Neolithic on page 129, fig 54, 2 and from The Later Neolithic to Early Bronze Age on page 169, fig 71, 1.
