A collecton of seventy knapped flint microliths with backed points, dating to the Mesolithic period between c. 8000 - c. 4000 BC (length ranging from 9-27.5mm; average thickness: 2.5mm; collective weight: 32.55g).There are multiple arrises on the dorsal (upper face) side of the microliths, with normally 2-4/5 arrises on each piece. There is also some evidence of re-touching on the artefacts.In his 2004 publication 'Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics October 2004, Version 1',page 209, C J Bond describes microliths as a 'small blunt or bladelet, often with …

A collection of twenty-seven knapped flint microliths with obliquely truncated points, dating from the Mesolithic period between c. 8000 BC - c. 4000 BC (length ranging from 12-35mm; average thickness: 2.5mm; collective weight: 16.60g).Many of these microliths have multiple arrises on the dorsal (upper face) side, with normally between 2-4 arrises on each piece. There is no real evidence on these microliths of any re-touch along the edges or surface.In his 2004 publication 'Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics October 2004, Version 1',page 209, C J Bond des…
