Description: | Flint fabricator, possibly used as a grinder and borer. It is formed on a flint blade, almost lozenge-shaped in plan, bi-convex in profile and sub-triangular in section. On the dorsal face, there is a point at the distal end. The left margin has a roughened patch. On the ventral face, there is a roughened patch along the proximal end. The significant features are the distal point, which may have been used for boring, and the roughened patches, suggesting grinding. The flint is black. There is primary cortex, which is rough in texture, suggesting a nodular origin.Butler (2005) has a similar example on page 131, figure 55, Number 6.
