Flint bifacial cleaver made on a Levallois flake with a U-shaped (Wymer Type H) form in plan, and a lozenge-shaped profile with a straight edge (Wymer Type e), dating from the Middle Palaeolithic period. The cleaver has a straight transverse cutting edge at the distal end opposite to the curved butt end (Wymer Type b) at the proximal end which has partly been removed by an invasive flake, perhaps to remove the natural fault in the flint which remains as a patch of white cortex. The cleaver edge has been formed by the removal of tranchet flakes from the right lateral edge of the ventra…

An incomplete probable flint knife of mesoltihic or early neolithic date. Description: The knife is formed from a long thin tertiary flake, surviving up to roughly 50% of its original length. It has short scaled low-angle retouch along its edges. Flaking is pronounced in places as is the conchoidal rippling though the bulb of percussion is low indicative of both soft and hard hammer striking. Possibly indicating early Neolithic. The blade is heavily mottled mid to light brown becoming more semi-transparent towards its edges. Measurements: 40.09mm long, 21.02mm wide, 5.13mm …

A fragment of Neolithic polished flint axehead c. 4000 - 2350 BC The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan and has a rounded pointed oval shaped section.
