Description: | A fragment of a Mesolithic to Neolithic flint retouched blade which has been reused as an awl or graver. The blade is broken at the distal and proximal ends, and the dorsal face is covered with invasive scalar retouch. The flint is grey and has hardly any patination, but an inclusion is visible at the proximal end across the break, and may explain why the blade broke. The left side of the blade has been further retouched to for a projecting point which may have been used as an awl or engraving tool. The tool is D shaped in section.
