A piece of Neolithic debitage, possibly indicating blade production dating to, c. 4000-2400 BC. The object is worked from a tertiary flake of light grey flint with occasional medium grey patches. The flake is sub-triangular in plan and sub-triangular to trapezoidal in cross section.  At least four negative removal scars are present on the dorsal face, some running in a linear fashion parallel to each other. The ventral face is almost perfectly flat. The longest side of the triangle has possible retouch, suggesting it may have been used as a scraping …

One flake of flint debitage of prehistoric date. The piece is a tertiary piece of flint with a semi-glossy patina that is mostly a dark grey brown colour with one lighter off white patch. The flake is sub-triangular in plan with irregular edges. The piece has at one earlier flake removals on its dorsal surface while the reverse has none. At the proximal end of the ventral surface a meidum bulb of percussion and an eraillure scar are visible, as are some medium conchoidal ripples close to the distal end. The striking platform also survives. There is a hinge fracture at t…

A piece of debitage of possible Neolithic date c. 4000-2400BC. The flake is worked from a secondary flake of dark brown grey slightly translucent flint that has a semi glossy patina.The flake is sub-triangular in plan and in section. it has at least four prior removal scars on its dorsal face all parallel and vertical possibly indicating blade production. On the ventral face the striking platform survives as does a shallow sized bulb of percussion including eraillure scar from which sparse but clear conchoidal ripples emanate.
