Description: | The ventral face shows the bulb and abrupt retouch to the notch on the distal right shoulder. The dorsal face has been retouched at the right margin to sharpen it. The left margin is more weathered and may be the equivalent of cortex to protect a finger putting pressure on the tool. The proximal end of the left margin has been retouched, possibly for hafting.This piece is made from chert and is opague grey and brown. It has only tertiary cortex, so its origin is not obvious.Butler illustrates a combination tool on Page 169 Fig 71 No 5, which he dates to the later Neolithic period .
