Description: | A possible awl or borer, of late Neolithic to early Bronze Age date, measuring 43.30mm in length, 22.15mm in width, 9.65mm in thickness and weighing 10.24grams. The object is sub-triangular in plan, and roughly semi-circular in cross-section. It is 22.25mm in maximum width at the centre, narrowing to a point at one end (2.90mm wide and 1.15mm thick), but remaining 22.00mm wide and 9.60mm thick at the other, this end has suffered an old break as evidenced by the presence of mottled blue patina similar to that on the dorsal and ventral faces. The dorsal face has invasive, abrupt, scaled retouch. at the tip further retouch is visible, the exposed brown flint suggests that this is later retouch or possible damage.
