Description: | Dibble or digging tool. Light brown with buff cortex where left. Class 9b. No. 33, R.
Dibble or digging pick made from fragment of nodule. The working neck is short but carefully prepared by meand of preimary and secondary retouch. The tip has been bevelled or sharpened (probably in two stages?) by means of a longitudinal 'coup de burin' . The result is that at the tip the neck has a plano-convex cross section. The thickness of the butt end is reduced by the removal of the cortex from one face (perhaps by a natural fracture) and by means of crude sloping chipping on the other.
Armant cemeteries Areas 1000 & 1100. Level I; M13; 1075.
