A group of 5 flint waste flakes of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-ovate in plan, plano-convex in section and all taper to a slight point at the distal end. The flakes retain no cortex and are therefore tertiary flakes The flakes range from a dark grey to light brown in colour. Dimensions: No. 1: Length- 7.78mm, Width- 6.54mm, Thickness- 3.36mm, Weight- 0.2g No. 2: Length- 8.06mm, Width- 5.52mm, Thickness- 2.77mm, Weight- 0.1g No. 3: Length- 8.43mm, Width- 5.10mm, Thickness- 3.75mm, Weight- 0.1g …

A group of 6 flint waste flakes of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Lithics no. 2 and 6 retain some cortex (on the proximal end and left hand edge respectively) and are therefore secondary flakes. The others retain no cortex and are therefore tertiary flakes The flakes are dark grey in colour. The cortex on no 2 and 6 is grey in colour. Dimensions: No. 1: Length- 13.16mm, Width- 7.76mm, Thickness- 3.87mm, Weight- 0.3g No. 2: Length- 11.25mm, Width- 6.42mm, Thickness- 5.30mm, Weight- 0.3g …

A complete flint worked flake of Mesolithic date (9000-3450BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concaveo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains multiple predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal, right and left hand edges have been abruptly blunted while the distal edge show short, parallel, semi abrupt retouch. The ventral surface and left hand side are covered with retained cortex and the lithic is therefore a secondary flake. The ventral surface also contains a negative scar at the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore …

A group of 3 flint worked flakes of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. Lithics no. 1 and 2 show semi-abrupt retouch on at least one edge. Lithic no. 2 and 3 retain a small amount of cortex on the dorsal surfaces and are therefore secondary flakes. Lithic no.1 retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is grey in colour. The cortex in no. 2 and 3 is also grey.

A complete flint scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concave-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains 3 predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The distal and left hand edges show short, parallel, semi abrupt retouch. The left hand edge also has a notched aspect towards the distal end. The ventral surface is concave and predominantly smooth with percussion ripples emanating from the proximal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is a light brown in colour with cream inclusio…
