Description: | Flint flake which has been worked into an awl. Retouch otr trim along the right hand edge, dorsal side,has worked the flake to a point and the remaining cortex on the left hand side, acts as natural backing. The ventral side is convex and both sides have bluish patination to the flint which is quite striking in colour.The flint has this bluish cream patination and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig 71, No.6 which is dated to the later Neolithic.
