Description: | This piece, made from a dark brown beach flint, has been notched and the thicker end prepared for hafting. The dorsal left shoulder has abrupt retouch to blunt it, like a backed knife. The notch on the long distal end is balanced by the notch on the left proximal butt. The right dorsal margin comes to a point with abrupt retouch. The tip is broken, probably from use. The medial ridge leads almost to the tip, but is flattened by retouch. The right margin from the point to the truncated proximal end is sharp and shows use wear. There is tiny retouch on the ventral face to sharpen the tip.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar piece on Page 152 Fig 5.136 No F157 and P 154 Fig 5.138 No 20 which he calls a borer and places in the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age.
