Two retouched flint flakes / small blades of later Mesolithic or Neolithic date. The pieces are both made from translucent dark brown-grey flint, one slightly paler, and are secondary pieces with small amounts of cortext at their distal ends on their dorsal faces. Both have prominent bulbs of percussion on the ventral face and breaks at the proximal end where the platform should be. Both also have evidence for multiple parallel previous blade removals from the same platform.
The paler piece has short, scalar, semi-abrupt retouch down the entire left edge (on the dorsal face) and the other has similar retouch at the distal end of the left edge and what appears to be chipping and damage on the right edge.
They weigh 6.28g in total.
