A tertiary flake with possible retouch. A soft hammer flake of off-white and buff coloured flint with a low gloss patina. The proximal end has been broken off leaving a small hinge fracture. There are faint waves of percussion on the ventral face and several flaking scars on the dorsal face. There are some area of possible steep retouch around the edges of the flake, but there is also some evidence of crush damage.

A large secondary flint flake with a small area of retouch in the middle of one edge. Mid grey to pale grey and white mottled flint with a low gloss patina. There is a very small area of nodule cortex on the dorsal face at the distal end. The Proximal end has been snapped off. The flaking scars on the dorsal face indicate the flake results from blade production and the it also has the trapeziodal cross section associated with this. There is a small area of pressure flake retouch on the right edge on the ventral face. Date: Neolithic (probably) 3500 - 2100 BC Dimensions: 70 mm x 33…
