Conical wooden stake with a groove 0,5 cm in width at the upper extremity. This groove was most probably used to hold a strap or cordage. This stake was cut, shaped on a lathe and then trimmed at its lower extremity. It could have been used to fix an object  to the ground, such as a canvas or animal skin shelter (not unlike a modern tent).

Piquet de bois conique avec une gorge de 0,5 cm de largeur à son extrémité supérieure prévue sans doute pour recevoir un cordage ou un lien. Ce piquet a du être préalablement découpé, façonné au tour puis aminci vers son extrémité basse. Il pouvait être utilisé pour fixer un objet au sol, par exemple un abri de toile ou de peau (comparable à une tente moderne).
