A group of five pieces of flint debitage of probable Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The object demonstrate limited amounts of working and are of an undiagnostic form. All have negative scars while only one (1 top left), retains a small bulb of percussion. None demonstrate any retouch. The flints range in colour from light cream to light creamy grey. None retain any cortex. Length: 23.53mm, Width: 16.01mm, Thickness: 5.26mm, Weight: 1.8g. Length: 21.30mm, Width: 15.72mm, Thickness: 1.84mm, Weight: 0.5g.

A complete flint (chert) worked flake of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and concaveo-convex in section. The dorsal surface is covered with granular retained cortex. All of the edges show semi- abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave with some scarring. The lithic retains some cortex on the dorsal surface and is therefore a secondary flake. The flint (chert) is a dark grey in colour with lighter inclusions throughout. The cortex is cream grey in colour. Dimensions: Length- 15.45mm, Width- 19.38mm, Thickness- 4.67mm, Weight- 1.5g

A complete flint worked flake of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains 3 predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. The right and left hand edges have been abruptly blunted and the distal edge shows short, semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is concave with some scaring. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is a dark grey in colour. Dimensions: Length- 15.52mm, Width- 13.08mm, Thickness- 6.26mm, Weight- 1.3g

A flint blade probably dating to the Neolithic, c. 4000 to 2700 BC. The object is pentagonal in plan with two long parallel sides, a short side joining them at one end and at the opposite side a point. The dorsal side features two parallel faces. There is a possible break on the right when looking at the dorsal side and another break creating the short side. There is some very limited short, scaled retouch at a low angle. The flint is a dark greyish brown in colour. The object is 38.00 mm in length, 13.11 mm in width and 4.13 mm in thickness. The object weighs 2.6g.

Nine chert blades representing debitage of Mesolithic date (7000-3450 BC). The lithics have multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises. All of the flakes taper to points at the distal ends, have been blunted at the proximal end and all have a minor amount of semi-abrupt retouch. None retain any cortex. The chert ranges in colour from cream to light brown. All flakes are tertiary. Total weight of 9 lithics 0.1g Length: 5.19mm, Width: 3.83mm, Thickness: 0.71mm.

A group of 8 chert debitage fragments of Mesolithic date (900-3450 BC). The lithics have multiple negative scars and corresponding arrises. None show any indication of retouch and are therefore unworked waste flakes. The chert is light to dark cream in colour. Note Two of the fragments (1&4) are banded chert.

A group of 3 chert core rejuvenation flakes of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-ovate in profile and all have multiple, sub-rectangular, negative scars running longitudinally on the dorsal surface. All the proximal ends have been blunted and the ventral surfaces have multiple negative scars. One of the lithics (No. 3) has a minor amount of retained cortex along the right hand edge. The chert is cream to light brown in colour. Length: 49.71mm, Width: 33.28mm, Thickness: 28.01mm, Weight: 47.1g. Length: 49.14mm, Width: 36.85mm, Thickness: 16.36mm, Weight: 19.7g…
