A worked microlithic flint tool which probably dates from the Mesolithic period. The tool is sub-lozenge or kite shaped. It is wider at the distal end. It is 35.3mm long, 15.8mm wide and 6.5mm thick. There is semi-abrupt parallel retouch and wear along both edges of the proximal end, extending nearly to the distal end on the left side. There is a fresh break at the distal left hand side, but some cortex surviving on the left before the break shows that the retouch did not extend along the whole side. The function of the tool is not completely clear, but the proximal end may have been u…

A retouched flint blade fragment. It has fine retouch down one edge and more crude retouch down the other. There is a break at each end which are post-depositional since the patina does not cover the broken edge. This could have been a transverse arrowhead, but too little remains to be certain. This retouched blade would date to the Mesolithic or early Neolithic. It measures 13.8mm x 13.3mm x 3.1mm, weighing 0.77g.
