Description: | An edge trimmed flake, which may have some piercing function, that has been bi-facially retouched, and has been expediently made.The right margin of the dorsal face exhibits partial retouch of low angle and is of long extent. This retouch has formed a possible piercing point midway along the margin. Retouch is also evident partially along the distal and proximal ends with both possessing retouch of abrupt angle and edge type extent. This abrupt retouch together with 40% cortex cover allows for comfortable handling.The left margin of the ventral face exhibits partial retouch of low angle and may aid in piercing function.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on p143, Fig 63, L199 which dates to the Neolithic.
