Flint burin spall, sub trapezoid in plan and rod shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the upper left edge of the distal tip is retouched. The proximal end is snapped. There is faint retouch on the left and right margins. There is a single mesial ridge. The ventral side appears heat damaged with a central pitted cavity. The right margin has been retouched. It may be a double-angled burin.
The flint is lead grey in colour.
Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 111, Fig. 44, No. 2 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.

Object type: BURIN SPALL
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A burin spall struck off the edge of a thin biface which has been invasively flaked and semi-abruptly retouched before being exposed to damaging heat that has altered the colour to an opaque grey and damaged some of the edgework.The discarded piece has been selected to make a graver by striking off this spall. The biface seems to have been a leaf arrowhead and so the burin spall Neolithic or later.Bond(2004) illustrates a burin spall on page 136, fig. 5.122, F63.
