Description
English: Flint awl or piercer, almost diamond shaped in plan and lozenge shaped in profile with one end more rounded. The upper right and left margins have been retouched. The lower left margin has some non-beach cortex on it covering 1-49% of the total surface area. The flint is a dark brown streaked with ochre in colour.

Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 137, Fig. 60, No. L 171 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
