Antler projectile tip with a forked base. The point is an elongated lozenge shape in outline form and in cross-section. The base is split up the middle forming a slot parallel with the edges and forming two prongs. One face is polished smooth whereas the other more steeply ridged surface remains rough along the apex. Incised lines run parallel along either side of the ridge for most of its length. these may be tool marks from the cutting of the blank. The tip is missing due to ancient damage.
