Description: | This is a combination tool with three apparent features. The ventral face has a bulb and nibbled retouch on the sweeping distal margin. The dorsal face has a notch on the right margin. The long distal margin sweeps up to the point and has been nibbled from the ventral face to make it sharp. Ther eis some abrupt retouch below the point on the flattened left distal margin.The piece is made from a dark grey/brown flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 129 Fig 54 No 2 which he calls an awl and dates to the Neolithic period.
