Description: | Oval shaped piece of mid grey coloured flint with dark grey inclusions, the surface of the artefact has about 50% cortex covering, which is smooth in texture and consistent with material from a beach pebble. The right side of the dorsal face has been subject to retouch, removing the cortex to reveal the two tone colouring of the flint, the right margin has a single protrusion coming from the edge above the medial, which appears typical of a piercer of awl. The right margin does appear to exhibit some retouch along it edge but this is intermittent. The proximal edge appears flat as if removed from a striking platform. The distal edge is divided between bare flint and cortex material, its looks blade like on the right side of the edge . The left margin is cortex.The ventral face is smooth in appearance, with some slight retouch along the bottom of the left margin, the edge of the right margin shows the cortex, which varies in thickness along the edge. The remains of a slight rise, possible bulb of percussion is present.
