LITHIC IMPLEMENT

Lithic implements 1) Miscellaneous retouch length 27mm, width 18mm, thickness 5mm. Multiple flaking scars on the dorsal, the bulb is missing from the ventral, 30% cortex on the right side and tip. The left side has inverse scaled, long rough retouch, dark grey flint with lighter patches, this artefact dates to the Bronze Age. 2) Notched piece length 17mm, width 22mm, thickness 3mm.
