8) An unpatinated short flake struck from a dark grey to black flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion, with cortex remaining at the distal end. The flake measures 34.86mm in length, 27.12mm in width, 7.71mm in thickness and 5.14g in weight.

9) An unpatinated and snapped short flake struck from a mottled brown flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion, with 50% cortex remaining on the dorsal faced. Snapped at the distal end. The flake measures 28.27mm in length, 27.22mm in width, 6.81mm in thickness and 5.15g in weight.

10) An unpatinated and snapped short flake struck from a mottled grey flint. It has a hinge fracture at the distal end, snapped at the proximal end, and with parallel flake scars on the dorsal face. The flake measures 29.01mm in length, 25.04mm in width, 6.87mm in thickness and 5.15g in weight.

11) An unpatinated short flake struck from a grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flake measures 27.88mm in length, 18.09mm in width, 4.11mm in thickness and 2.15g in weight.

12) An unpatinated short flake struck from a mottled grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flake measures 25.50mm in length, 22.61mm in width, 8.79mm in thickness and 4.66g in weight.

13) An unpatinated short flake struck from a dark grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion, and hinge fracture to one side. The flake measures 21.25mm in length, 21.67mm in width, 3.86mm in thickness and 2.15g in weight.

14) An unpatinated short flake struck from a dark grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flake measures 24.58mm in length, 22.77mm in width, 4.88mm in thickness and 2.10g in weight.

15) An unpatinated squat flint flake struck from a dark brown to grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion. The flake measures 22.17mm in length, 27.54mm in width, 3.57mm in thickness and 2.02g in weight.

16) An unpatinated squat flint flake struck from a pale grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion, with flake removal on the dorsal face. The flake measures 18.19mm in length, 22.77mm in width, 6.08mm in thickness and 2.00g in weight.

17) An unpatinated short flake struck from a dark grey flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion, the striking platform being slightly patinated suggesting the flake was struck from an earlier flake. The flake measures 25.84mm in length, 22.27mm in width, 7.78mm in thickness and 3.85g in weight.
