Description: | Chunky flint flake which has been worked along the edges leading up to a point for use as a piercer or borer. This point is now blunted either through use or by accidental damage. There is trimming along the left hand edge leading to this point. Opposite the point there is a flat area on the dorsal side which is of help in using the flint. The other side is also flat.The flint is medium grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 57, fig.5.28, No. L132 which is dated to the Neolithic.
