Title |
MICROBURIN |
||
Description |
English: The ventral face has ripples and a scar, but no retouch. The dorsal face has a slightly concave medial ridge with long, semi-abrupt falke removals to either margin. The right margin is sharp but not retouched. The left margin has abrupt retouch and a tiny notch. The distal end is flattened, but concave to make a sharp point. The better point is at the proximal end and has been deliberately created by retouch from both margins and the dorsal face.
The piece is made from a dark grey to brown flint. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is difficult to confirm with only tertiary cortex. Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 111 Fig 49 No L8 which he calls a microburin and dates to the Mesolithic. |
