Description: | Oval piece of dark grey/black flint with cortex remaining on the surface. The dorsal face is uneven in appearance with a distinct central ridge moving between the cortex which covers the left side of the proximal and stops at the medial and terminates at the point on the distal edge. This appears to have been a piece of waste material from a core which has been converted into a piercer. The left margin above the medial appears to have been subject to slight nibbling and stops on reaching the protruding point at the distal. The right side of the point on the distal also appears to have been slightly retouched, with no further retouch apparent on the piece. The proximal edge is flat possibly as a result of being part of a core striking platform. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and texture with a slight piece of cortex on the right side of the proximal face. A bulb of percussion is present at the proximal edge and possible retouch at the left side of the distal edge. Possibly been subjected to heating. Piercer ?
