Description: | The platform has secondary cortex. The piece is shaped like a pyramid with two edges and 2 faces. Each face has been flaked towards the sharp point.The flint is mottled in shades of grey. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 137 Fig 60 No L163 which he calls a piercer and dates to the Neolithic.
