DEBITAGE

Later Mesolithic to Neolithic (4000 - 2100BC) debitage in the form of three flakes:

1. Secondary flake with small patches of cortex remaining on the dorsal surface. This surface has multiple small scars. The ventral face has conchoidal ripples and the proximal end has been truncated. Along one lateral edge there is a small notch. The flint is a mottled opaque brown/grey colour. 25.65mm x 24.6mm x 6.26mm, weighing 2.59g.

2. Tertiary flake which may have re-touch to form a truncated burin: The dorsal surface has two main linear, vertical, negative scars. At the distal end, the edge forms an obliquely angled truncated point. The lower edge, at the distal end has abrupt retouch. The proximal end has a wide striking platform, and the ventral face has the bulb of percussion, bulbar scars and conchoidal ripples. The flint is a mottled mid grey colour. 34.53mm x 18.41mm x 5.73mm, weighing 3.06g.

3. Possible chert tertiary flake; the flake is a sub semi-circular in plan with possible recent damage long the straight lateral edge. The curved lateral edge has fine low-angled retouch on the probable dorsal surface forming a serrated edge. The dorsal surface has one scar which is convex in plan. The ventral surface has no visible conchoidal ripples or bulb of percussion, but it may have been truncated. The chert is a matte, mottled light grey colour. The flake measures 34.48mm in length, 19mm width, is 10.11mm thick and weighs 4.95 grams.
