Description: | Flint borer, sub-rectangular in plan and convex-concave in profile with a sharp point at the distal end. The distal face has a notch to the left of the point and retouch to the right. The proximal end is truncated. On the ventral face there is possible retouch or use wear on the right margin. It has been soft-hammered from a multi-platform core. It is a translucent grey flint with paler patches that may be patination. No cortex is visible so it is tertiary.Butler (2005) shows a similar combination tool (scraper/piercer), although without a notch, on page 169, Figure 71, Number 7.
