content: Notecard from "Artifact Notes Shanidar Cave Season IV Mainly Layer B, circa 1960" : "This is a rather enigmatic piece. The thin tampering point is very suggestive of a boring or piercing tool but signs of secondary working of the piece are not obvious. This piece should be inspected personally and assessed. Chert. It appears to be broken at the nonpointed end." Ralph S. and Rose L. Solecki papers, National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution.
