Dark grey flint with cortex spot and dense misty patina, backed blade. Flake with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a slightly concave curving edge, interrupting the patina. The opposite edge is flat, affording a thumb-rest.

Grey flint with cortex and dense creamy patina, backed blade. Flake with broad and parallel flakes trimmed from the dorsal side and with a bulb on the ventral. Short scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows a curved edge, which is perhaps truncated by breakage in antiquity. The cortex appears to be retained to permit the exertion of pressure on the back or butt. A chip at the bulb is recent damage. The dense patina indicates the object endured long exposure after breakage and deposition. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 24.5mm, Width: 27.7mm, Thickness…

Grey flint with dense misty patina, backed blade. Flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a low bulb on the ventral. Very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge, probably to blunt it, and appears more intermittently along the opposite long edge. The retouch interrupts patina, so the re-use of a struck flake appears likely. The early Neolithic period may embrace both initial and secondary working. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 31.2mm, Width: 19.6mm, Thickness: 4.5mm, Weight: 3.10gms.

Pale grey flint with cortex spot and dense creamy patina, backed blade. Flake with broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and rippled on the ventral. A single hard hammer strike detached a further flake from one long side to produce a cutting edge.

Pale grey flint with light misty patina patches, backed blade. Flake with a low bulb trimmed on the ventral surface and with very short abrupt retouch along part of one slightly concave long edge executed from the dorsal aspect. The retouch disrupts patina possibly acquired during a period of exposure, and appears intended to blunt the back of a small blade, though both primary and secondary working could be accommodated by the Early Neolithic period.

Grey flint with cortex backed blade, as kindly identified by the finder. Curved flake with two long flakes removed from its dorsal side and a bulb on the ventral. One edge bears serrations formed by short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect.

The flint lacks patina, unlike much earlier material reported along with it, and so this object is ascribed to the later of the available periods. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC.

Honey-coloured flint with cortex spot, backed blade. A thin oval flake with broad and narrow flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a concave ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one long edge; the retention of cortex on part of the opposite long edge may have permitted pressure to be brought to bear on the putative working edge. This cutting edge may also have been serrated by very short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect. A misty patina has developed over struck surfaces, and may indicate the object subsequently end…

Flint with cortex spot, backed blade. A small thin D-shaped flake with narrow and broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and with a slightly concave ventral surface. The curving edge served as a cutting edge, and the opposed flat straight side may have permitted pressure to be brought to bear on it. Milky patina has developed over struck surfaces, suggesting the object has endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 27.2mm, Width: 15.6mm, Thickness: 3.8mm, Weight: 1.77gms

Toffee-coloured red-brown flint backed blade. A thin sub-ovoid flake with long narrow parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side, and with a flat if rippled ventral surface. Invasive angled scalar retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows the longest curved convex edge. Similar retouch executed from the ventral aspect is restricted to the upper end of the same cutting edge. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 42mm, Width: 26.5mm, Thickness: 4.8mm, Weight: 5.28gms

Grey flint with cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, backed blade. Oval flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side to afford a thumb rest. The ventral side has a bulb at one end. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal; aspect follows one long curving edge, and slightly trims cortex on the opposite long edge, which, however, is largely left to permit pressure to be brought to bear on the cutting edge. Patches of misty patina may suggest the object endured a period of exposure after its deposition. Suggested date: Early Neolithic, 4000-3500 BC. Length: 32.…

Grey flint with cortex, possibly collected from the East Coast, backed blade. Flake with long broad parallel flakes struck from its dorsal side and rippled on its concave ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows both long edges, and both appear to have received some subsequent battering, leaving it now uncertain which side was the original cutting edge. There is the appearance of further scalar retouch executed from the ventral aspect, but this may arise from fortuitous impact. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC. Length: 41.4mm, Width: 21.4…
