LITHIC IMPLEMENT

An assemblage of 8 struck or burnt flints collected from the same field. It comprises:

the distal ends of two thin blades (incl. i), of triangular cross-section in pale grey and pale grey/brown flint,

a flake (ii) with a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface and a single ridge down the dorsal surface, of triangular cross-section but thicker than a blade, in mottled dark grey flint,

a scraper (iii) with a bulb of percussion and scarring on the ventral surface with a small section of cortex and retouch at the distal end forming a convex scraping edge of c.25mm length in mottled grey/green flint,

an irregularly shaped struck flake with a bulb of percussion and scarring on the ventral surface in grey/green flint,

a very small, sub-triangular shaped flake with traces of a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface, just possibly the tip of an arrowhead, in grey/green flint,

a lump of fire damaged flint, white in colour with a crazed surface,

a struck flake of partially fire damaged flint, with a bulb of percussion on the ventral surface, white in colour at the proximal end where burnt, mid grey towards the distal end.
