Description: | Awl with backed blade. The ventral face contains minor 'nibbling' along the length of the right lateral edge. The distal end has been invasively retouched. On the dorsal face the right margin has been snapped along its entire length to give natural backing for the blade on the opposite lateral edge. The left margin has been invasively retouched with subsequent 'nibbling' along its length. The distal end has been semi abruptly retouched to give a concaved edge which ends with a point on the left margin. The flint is dark grey with white fleks.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig 71, No 4 which dates to the later Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age.
