A complete flint Notched scraper of Mesolithicto Neolithic date (9000-1500 BC). The lithic is sub-spatulate in plan and concavo-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains three predominant negative scars with corresponding arrises and a small amount of cortex is retained along the proximal left hand edge. The proximal, left and right hand edges have rough semi-abrupt retouch. There is a projecting bulbous spur along the proximal left hand edge which creates a notched aspect in the mesal left hand edge. The ventral surface is smooth and slightly concave. The lithic retains a minor …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint notched scraper of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface contains 3 visible negative scars with corresponding arrises. The distal end has evidence of semi-abrupt retouch. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The lithic is predominantly light brown in colour with light grey inclusions throughout.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete flint awl of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithic is sub-rectangular in profile and flat in section. Both the dorsal and ventral surfaces feature minor negative scars with corresponding arrises. It appears that the lithic has been retouched along both edges to form a point at the distal edge. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake.
The lithic is predominantly cream in colour with grey inclusions throughout.

A group of three flint debitage of probable Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular and sub-triangular in profile, and concave-convex in section. On the dorsal surfaces there are a small number of negative scars with corresponding arrises. Upon the ventral surface of one lithic there is a clear bulb or percussion with corresponding cracking ripples, while one also has a number of negative scars along the ventral surface. Two of the lithics have remains of cortex and are therefore secondary, while the other has none and is thus tertiary.

A group of four flint scrapers of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular in profile and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surfaces of the lithics feature multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises. On the ventral surfaces there is evidence of cracking ripples, although there are no bulbs of percussion. Both the proximal and distal ends of the lithics have been retouched abruptly, creating a flat edge. There is also evidence of minor short retouch on two of the lithics. There is no cortex present and so the lithics are tertiary.

The dorsal surfaces of both lithics feature multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises. On the ventral surface of one lithic there is clear evidence of a bulb of percussion with associated cracking ripples. The proximal portions of the lithics have been semi-abruptly retouched. No cortex is present, so both are tertiary.
The lithics range in colour from brown to light grey, with light grey/cream inclusions on both.

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.

A group of five flint flakes of probable Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The lithics are sub-rectangular in profile and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surfaces feature multiple negative scars with corresponding arrises. There is some evidence of short, semi-abrupt re touching on multiple edges. One lithic has some cortex, therefore it is a secondary flake, while the others have no cortex and are thus tertiary.
The lithics are a variety of colours including light brown, light and dark grey, red and white. The cortex on lithic one is dark grey in colour.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A piece of flint debitage of Mesolithic date, circa 9,000 - 4,000 BC, in the form of a blade. It is a tertiary flake and therefore retains no cortex on its surface. The dorsal face exhibits 5 negative flake scars from previous flake removal. The proximal end has a striking platform and low bulb of percussion, with faint conchoidal ripple marks present on the ventral face. The flint is mid grey-brown in colour with dark grey inclusions. It measures 29.03mm in length, 18.20mm in width, 1.94mm in thickness and weighs 2.18g.
