Description: | A thin flake of triangular plan, expanding from a thin platform, which has snapped at right angles. The flint is brown, grey, cream and brown ribboned with nodular cortex on the distal end. The dorsal flake scars are convergent with sinuous ridges. The mesal to proximal margins are abruptly retouched and the piece may have been an awl or piercer but the tip had broken during use. Butler(2005) illustrates piercers on page 169, fig 71, 1-4.
