Dark grey flint with cortex, possible scraper. A small chunk with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side which has subsequently collected a dense creamy patina suggesting its prolonged exposure to a calcareous environment. The ventral surface is fresh, suggesting a pebble which had already been patinated was reworked and this part was detached, leaving a bulbar ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect may have removed some patina to form a thumbnail scraper, though the continuation of this loss of patina from round the edge could alternatively have arise…

Flint with ?re-formed cortex, scraper. A small trapezoid chip with a broad flake or flakes struck from its dorsal side leaving a patch of cortex on one side, and with a flat ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect forms a notch or hollow on one long side; the retention of cortex on the opposite long edge may have permitted pressure to be brought to bear on the putative working edge. A dense white patina across all struck surfaces suggests they have subsequently endured exposure to a calcareous environment.

A powdery ?marine-deposited patina? was removed by this draft, and also by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect which follows a sub-triangular projecting point. The appearance of retouch along a long edge may be misleading, as most of the scars appear to result from edge-on impacts.
