COMBINATION TOOL

Unique ID: LEIC-64314B

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

Neolithic flint combination tool.

Dark grey opaque patina. Made on a hard-hammer-struck flake. Piercer created on the distal end by truncations that were then abruptly retouched. The right lateral edge has also been retouched (short, semi-abrupt, stepped) into a scraper and the dorsal face has many orthogonally struck flake scars. The piece could be any date from the Late Upper Palaeolithic but is probably Neolithic or later.
