Description: | A triangular section fragment of translucent brown nodular flint. The flake looks like an accidentally produced flake but it has been chosen and a triangular section point has been thinned by shallow invasive retouch. The thick back of the wedge has had a large flake struck out to make a notch. The edge of the notch has been crushed to blunt it to make a comfortable finger hold. Mercer(1981) illustrates an oblique piercer on page 137, fig 60, L169.
