A complete chert burin of Mesolithic date (6300-4300 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular. The dorsal surface is convex and contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises. Both the proximal and distal ends have been abruptly blunted, the distal end having a small projecting point situated on the left hand edge. The left and right hand edges have a small amount of semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is slightly concave with a small bulb of percussion situated at the proximal end. The chert is cream in colour. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a t…

Two complete, flint micro-burins of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-triangular and sub-rectangular in profile and concave in section. On the dorsal surfaces there are a number of small negative scars with corresponding arrises. One of the lithics has been semi-abruptly retouched along the proximal. No cortex is present thus both lithics are tertiary. The lithics are both light grey in colour with white/light grey inclusions throughout.
