Description: | A truncated flake of dark brown flint with opaque cream inclusions. The distal end and most of the dorsal surface has remaining lightly rolled pebble cortex. The blunt cortical margins must have made a handy grip for this thin flake as the proximal end has been obliquely truncated to a point with further retouch and use wear as an awl or piercer. Mercer(1981) illustrates a piercer on page 137, fig 60, L163.
