Flint implement, possible knife fragment, probably Neolithic (4000-2350 B.C.). Flint, grey-brown in colour, semi-translucent, medium gloss patina. D-shaped in plan, although slightly pointed on the curve, with the straighter edge likley representing an accidental break during production. Pointed-oval shape in cross section.Tertiary working. Retouch is visible on all edges apart from the broken terminal. It is bifacial, invasive, scaled and low angle.

A Neolithic flint flake dating to the period c. 4000 - 2350 BC. A tertiary medium greying brown flint with occasional off white inclusions. The dorsal surface has three flake scars one of which appears to be in a different direction to the other two. On the right edge as seen from the dorsal surface, close to the distal end is a semi-circular notch and traces off occasional very short, semi-abrupt retotuch marks. This serves to accentuate the distal point of the flint and to soften the notch.
The proximal end has been lost to a hinge fracture removing the bulb of percussion and str…

Fragment of a lithic implement. Probably Mesolithic (10,000 - 4000 BC). Black and dark grey opaque flint. Tertiary flake. U-shaped in plan. Sub-triangular in cross-section. Invasive, scaled and low-angled retouch on the left half of one face and a little more on the right edge (when viewed with the pointed end at the bottom).

Tertiary knapped flint flake with extensive retouch, possible an unfinished tool. The piece is broadly triangular and flat with one corner missing to a snap. This broken corner was the proximal end and the bulb of percussion is missing either due to the snap or to retouch. Ripples on the ventral and dorsal face suggest this flake was removed by hard hammer impact and at 180 degress to the direction of previous removals. Two of the sides are extensively retouched with short, scalar, shallow retouch becoming longer and semi-abrupt towards the middle of each side. This has created one st…

Small flint notched flake. There are three long thin flaking scars on the dorsal face and a further smaller scar at the distal end. The right edge curves inwards with a notch in its centre which appears to have been deliberately manufactured. The left edge and distal edge show signs of very crude, limited retouch. To the ventral face the bulb and ripple lines are fairly diffuse. The butt is quite broad. The flint is grey-brown in colour with a mottled creamy patina.

A crude tool, which may possibly have had several functions. Both edges have sporadic short, fine, sub-parallel retouch in only a few places, creating an almost serrated edge. The proximal end has also been shaped into a slight point. The object could therefore be described as a saw, scraper, or piercer/borer. All surfaces and edge are quite uneven. The flint is grey in colour with many lighter speckles and a milky patina. The lack of diagnostic features means the object could be of Mesolithic to early Bronze Age date.

Small notched flint waste flake of probable Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The flake has three parallel flaking scars on the dorsal face. A 'V' shaped notch is missing at the proximal end.

Below this, towards the proximal end could be a few abrupt, short, scaled removals, but their small size and extent makes this difficult to confirm. The flint is light grey…

It has been made from a secondary flake (30% nodule cortex on the dorsal surface) of slightly transparent dark brown flint. It is fresh and complete. The striking platform and part of the bulb of percussion have been removed by short semi-abrupt retouch. This extends down one lateral side and has been carried out on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces, to form a scraping edge. The other lateral side has a concave curve.
