Upper Palaeolithic flint piercer
A fragment of a steeply retouched flint blade brought to a tip that has rounded through use and is interpreted as a piercer. The tool has evidence for heavy wear at its tip whilst there is a recent break across the blade. Both lengths of the blade are steeply retouched and the ventral surface is unmodified. The tool has a very heavy patina and weathered, rounded flake scars.
