A fragment probably of iron oxide, or red ochre, also known as red ruddle. It is an irregular angular chunk of dark red stone, which is slightly magnetic. It is 27.5mm long, 21.9mm wide and 14.7mm thick. 6.9g. It could be from a mesolithic site, but is impossible to date.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Two blades and one snapped blade of flint dating from the Mesolithic, 9000 BC - 4000 BC. The smallest blade is formed on opaque buff coloured flint, and the other two are patinated to white. The longest is snapped so the proximal end is missing. There is a small area of possible retouch on both long edges of the smallest. The largest is 40.3mm long, 11.8mm wide and 5.2mm thick. 2.42g. The next is 32.2mm long, 11.2mm wide and 5.3mm thick. 2.1g. The smallest is 24.1mm long, 11.8mm wide and 2.6mm thick. 0.89g.
