Description: | A small translucent brown flint microlith. It is of acute triangular form with 2 edges converging to a point abruptly retouched. The retouch continues around onto the base facet of the tool which looks like a snap. It may have functioned as a drill and been hafted. They are called meche de foret. Other microliths were found at this spot, close to a brook. Other kinds here appear to be side barbs of composite arrows. A site containing microburins lies a little further up the slope where at least some of these tools were probably made.
