Four hard hammer struck flakes, three are secondary, two of which appear to be without retouch, the other is a segment of oval sectioned nodule with thin cortex, semi-invasive retouch to one broad edge resembling an unusual form of scraper. The last flake tool is a a tertiary sub-circular scraper of conventional form; steep retouch to the distal end and sides, the platform is unmodified. All flakes and flake tools are of unpatinated flint, two mottled grey, one semi-translucent brown and the scraper is of black flint. Smallest: 33 x 28 x 11 mm. Black scraper: 43 x 42 x 14 mm. Neol…

A possibly Neolithic flint lithic implement, perhaps a piercer, dating to c BC 3500 - 1000. It is made from a tertiary flake and retains none of its original cortex. A small striking platform is possibly present at the proximal end, while its distal end narrows to a point. Two parallel flake scars on the dorsal face, and one flake scar on the ventral face give the object a broadly triangular section. The ventral surface exhibits very shallow concoidal ripple marks. The flake has been recorticated due to long term burial in a chalk environment, and is white-grey in colour with some evi…

Palaeolithic flint implement: multiple tool. Made on a very large tertiary blade, very light cream opaque patina. No platform present although there is a break. Not blade technology. Opposing orthogonal dorsal scars have created a central ridge. Both lateral edges have long, scaler retouch to create a scraping edge on the right and a denticulated edge on the left. On the right the retouch is all inverse, semi-abrupt and low-angle, and on the left the retouch is alternating, abrupt and low-angle, Either Middle or Upper Palaeolithic but cannot be dated with certainty.

Lower to Middle Palaeolithic flint implement: notch. A rolled gravel flake, patinated mid- and light brown opaque. Notch created by denticulated retouch. A good example of a small flaked tool of probably Palaeolithic date. Some retouch is present near the notch and these areas are patinated in the lighter brown, suggesting the flake is far older and was collected in the gravels, It is not possible tp accurately date the notch but the flake is Middle Palaeolithic at the latest.

Undated flint core tool. Patinated an opaque mid-mottled-brown colour. Possibly made on a heavily-reduced core but, due to the curved platform, could have been made on a large flake as the platform appears to be the ventral surface of such a piece. Centripetal flaking to produce a conical-looking small core. The edges are denticulated, suggesting this piece with its sharp edges could have been utilised as a tool. Similar to LEIC-D1B247, also from the Massey assemblage.
