Title
Awl : Mesolithic-Neolithic
Description
English: A complete flint awl of late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date (7000-2350 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in profile and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises and a minor amount of cortex retained along the right hand edge. The distal end is comprised of a spurred projection towards the left hand edge. The left and distal edges contain fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface has a small bulb of percussion situated along the proximal edge with ripples of percussion emanating from it. The lithic retains a minor amount of cortex and is therefore a secondary flake.


The flint is a dark grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. The cortex is a dark cream in colour.
