Description: | A stout, elongated flake of dark grey flint with opaque cream inclusions. It is heavily worked and likely reflaked during service, changing its shape. At discard the right margin is boldly flaked like a scraper, whilst the same edge, but on the ventral surface is thinned with invasive step fractured removals. There is a little too from the opposite margin of a more feathered nature, The distal end of this slug shaped piece looks like a blunted point with heavy use gloss. This may be a kind of drill or fabricator, at the point of exhaustion. Mercer illustrates a similar piercer on page 137, fig 60, L167.
