Neolithic flint implement. Borer.
Made on a tertiary flake, dark brownish-grey opaque patina. Unidirectional blade technology. The dorsal notch on left and the large ventral notch on the right suggest the implement was hafted. The piercer tip is refined by ventral retouch (short, semi-abrupt, scaler). Butt is prepared so could have been struck from a prepared core.
