A complete flint microlith of Mesolithic date, c.7000-4000 BC. The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and section. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with corresponding arises. The proximal and distal edges have been abruptly blunted and the right hand edge contains a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is smooth displaying ripples of percussion. The lithic retains a no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 14.3mm, Width: 12.6mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 0.2g. …

An incomplete knapped lithic implement of possible Mesolithic date, c.7000 - 4000 BC. The implement is a flint microlith formed of a tertiary flake which is sub-rectangular in plan and D-shaped in section. The ventral surface is smooth and flat. The dorsal surface has a prominent ridge and displays short, stepped, semi-abrupt retouch along the edges. The tip of the object appears to be lost, either through retouch, use-wear or post-depositional damage. The flint is mid-grey in colour. The implement is 31.11mm long, 15.07mm wide, 4.76mm thick and weighs 2.09g. Microliths are…
