Description: | A Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint implement, dating to c. 3300-1000 BC. This is a secondary flake, as a small area ( <1%) of cortext survives on one of the mesal sides. The ventral face exhibts no bulb of percussion, but does exhibit a series of concoidal ripple marks. The dorsal face has long, semi-abrupt scaled retouch, with some short retouch at its proximal end. At the distal end the implement has been knapped to a point, and therefore this implement could have been used as a awl or a borer, although the retouch along the mesal edges suggests that it could also have been used as a scraper.The implement is ovular in plan and is mostly dark grey in colour, with inclusions of lighter grey.The implement measures 32.55mm in length, 22.75mm in width and is 6.99mm in thickness. It weighs 6.31g.
