Pale brown and black flint, the latter with cortex spot, debitage. Three small flakes of irregular form, all with broad flakes struck from t heir dorsal sides and each with a bulbar or slightly concave ventral surface. The lack of surface patina may suggest these have recently been disturbed from a sealed context. The object illustrated at the left might have seen use as an oblique arrowhead, a later Neolithic form. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC.
