Flint awl, elongated ovoid in plan and plano convex in profile. On the dorsal side the distal tip is retouched and the proximal end cortex. The left margin is fine serration and the right margin is a combination of cortex and retouched edge. On the ventral side the right margin has low angle retouch. The distal end is retouched and there is retouch scarring on the left margin. The flint is dark grey brown and the secondary cortex is grey and fawn in colouring.

Record ID: IOW-1BACE5
Object type: PICK
Broad period: MESOLITHIC
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flint pick. This implement is pointed oval in plan and side view. It is roughly 'D'-shaped in cross-section close to the butt and cutting edge but at the centre it is pentagonal in cross-section. One face is predominately covered with cortex and the remaining surfaces are flaked overall. It has a pointed butt and the cutting edge has four long lateral flake scars at the front. The cortex has numerous percussion marks and appears to have been used as a hammerstone. This implement is particularly wide and thick in relation to its length. It…
