A complete flint microlithic obliquely blunted point of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-triangular in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface has four predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises and is blunted at the proximal end. The left and right hand edges have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The distal end tapers to a distinct point and has fine semi-abrupt retouch along both edges. The flake retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is grey in colour with cream inclusions throughout. Length: 34.87mm, Width: 13.27mm,…

Six chert blades representing debitage of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics have multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises. All of the lithics taper to slight points at the distal ends and have been blunted at the proximal end. None retain any cortex. The chert ranges in colour from cream to grey. All flakes are tertiary.

Workflow stage: Published
A complete flint microlith of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular. The proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted. The left and right hand edges contain fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface retains a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The flint is grey in colour and retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. Length: 6.85mm, Width: 6.83mm, Thickness: 1.22mm, Weight: 0.09g.

A group of two chert tools of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is a micro burin and is sub-triangular. The dorsal surface contains two predominant negative scars with a single, central arrise. The proximal end has been abruptly blunted while the distal end tapers to a point. The right hand edge contains fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface contains a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The chert is cream in colour. The flake retains no cortex and is therefore tertiary. Length: 17.23mm, Width: 8.87mm, Thickness: 2.39mm, Weight: 0.3g.…

A complete chert microlith probable scraper of Late Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular. The dorsal surface is convex and contains six predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. Both the proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted, the distal end having a cylindrical recession, probably naturally occurring within the chert, running into the body of the lithic. The left and right hand edges have fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The chert is …
