Description: | A flint awl dating from the Mesolithic or Neolithic period (8300 BC - 2100 BC). The awl is sub-rectangular in plan with a straight profile. It is made on a flake of opaque, mottled, light grey flint. The flake has been heavily worked on the dorsal face at the distal end to form a sharp point which projects upwards at just over a ninety degree angle from the dorsal face. This point is the awl.
