Context (Amendments / updates)
On 14 June 2017 Olivier Touzé, PhD candidate at Université de Liège, examined this object. He does not believe that it is a 'tanged Font-Robert point'. He believes it might be a small tanged arrowhead and that it is not Palaeolithic. Therefore, the Description has been updated to 'Flint point, possibly an arrowhead, with a short tang' and the Period changed from 'Palaeolothic' to '?Mesolithic; ?Neolithic'.
