The darker brown flake, that is lozenge-shaped in plan, has been worked on both margins of the dorsal face into a point at the distal end, perhaps in preparation for a Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead, but not completed. There is short scalar working from different directions on the dorsal face but it has not been made flat enough to be aero-dynamic as a projectile. The bulb of percussion h…

Flint waste flake, sub-rectangular in plan and triangular in section, that has been snapped off from a larger implement at the proximal end and is likely to be a waste flake from the Neolithic period. There is also damage at the distal end and elongate parallel flaking scars dorsally. The jagged edge of the right margin of the dorsal face is not retouch and the notch is certainly damage, so the flake has not been worked and is waste material. Some cortex remains at the distal end of the dorsal face denoting that it is a secondary flake and the grey-brown colour also suggests that it i…
