Description: | The piece is shaped like an ace of clubs. The ventral face has abrupt retouch to its left margin. The distal tip is snapped and the left dorsal face has two flake removals along the margin. The proximal end has a flake removal at its left shoulder and abrupt retouch on its right shoulder to create a point. The piece is quite abraded.The piece is made from a cream flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex.Butler illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 54 No 2, which he calls a piercer and placed in the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period.Mercer illustrates a similar piece on Page 137 Fig 60 No L172.
