Drill (NHMW-PRAE-44.499)

3D Model

3D scan of a 93 mm long blade, distally modified as a drill. Due to its shape, the object can be classified as a double drill. The artefact is made from red-brown to yellow white veined chert. It surfaced in layer 9 of the Willendorf II site in the Wachau Region in Lower Austria and constitutes one of the numerous lithic artefacts found in the same layer as the Venus of Willendorf.

This object was digitized for the go!digital 3.0 project bITEM (Beyond the Item - Biographies and Itineraries of Cultural Heritage Objects in Museums and beyond).
