Microlith, Barsalloch South, Port William
Barsalloch South, Port William
A microlithic point with retouch along both edges and at the
base. The tip is absent - it may have been broken off when
the point was being used.
A number of microliths like this were glued onto a wooden shaft
with pine resin. They were used as saws or as serrated
cutting edges on an arrowshaft. This point was collected by
W.F. Cormack.
