Title
Awl
Description
English: Flint awl, sub triangular in plan and almond shaped in profile. The dorsal side is convex with a high single mesial ridge. The distal tip is abraded and the proximal end snapped. The ventral surface is an uneven convex and part hinge fractured - there is also invasive flake removal.

The flint is dark grey toned with a tertiary cortex.

Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 135, Fig. 59, No. L. 156 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
