Description
Flint point, with flat retouching on both sides, therefore described as bifacial, and finished with an offset peduncle that gives it a characteristic asymmetric appearance. The relative abundance of these objects in the Reclau caves (Reclau Viver, Arbreda and Davant Pau), has made them known as Serinyadell points, although several very morphologically similar objects are known in the Cantabrian area and in southwest France. In origin, these implements were fixed to a shaft and it is thought they were used as projectile points for hunting. They are representative of the Solutrean period.
