Flint single-platform microlith blade core, triangular in plan, oval in section and trapezoidal in profile. The core has had blades taken off it on only two thirds of the way around its central axis, with a layer of cortex running from one third of the edge of the platform down to the base of the core. The flint is a translucent brown-grey colour and the curvature of the core suggests that it was made from a local beach pebble. The length to breadth ratio is 4:5, which is usual for micro-cores. Bond (2004) illustrates similar examples on page 120, Fig.5.104, No.82, which is dated…

Flint snapped end scraper, semi-circular in plan, triangular in section and in profile. The proximal end and both sides of the dorsal face have been unimarignally retouched. There is also a nick in the right edge of the dorsal face, but this is probably due to damage and not deliberate. The scraper may have been broken through use if enough pressure was applied to shear it off from the other half that was still held in the haft. Alternatively, it may have been broken since being deposited through coming into contact with agricultural machinery. See CORN-2286F2 and CORN-24A3D6 for si…

Flint scraper, roughly oblong in plan and lozenge shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal end has been retouched round to mid way on the right margin. The proximal end has also been retouched. On the ventral side the proximal has been snapped at an angle. The right margin also appears snapped. Both left and right margins are sharp. It is dark grey brown with cream flecks in colour. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 166, Fig. 70, No. 5 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
