[Bonetools] Russian terminology

[Rémi BERTHON]

Dear all,
I am translating a (Neolithic) archaeological report from Russian to English and I get some difficulties with two bone pointed tools-related terms: проколка (prokolka) and шило (shilo).
>From the text it seems that prokolka has (part of) the epiphysis left on at one end, whereas the shilo seems to have both ends sharpened. Should I use "awl" for both or do you have any suggestion for a differentiated translation ? (Unfortunately I don't have illustration of what is considered as prokolka or shilo in the text).

Many thanks in advance
Best regards,
Rémi Berthon
