DEBITAGE

Unique ID: BERK-7D82F3

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Two pieces of flint tool manufacturing waste (debitage), made from a semi-translucent orange-brown flint. Both flakes show flake removal scars on their dorsal surfaces, and neither appear to have any retouch. Undiagnostic pieces like these are very hard to date, however they are likely to date from around the Neolithic period.
