A knapped flint blade with retouch. Length 41.4mm; width: 27.1mm; thickness: 9.5mm; mass: 8.2g. The blade is broken at the distal end. The blade is partly coritical and dark grey and off white in colour. On the ventral face there is a bulb of percussion at the proximal end, with a small bulbar scar and ripples of the concoidal fracture running down the face. On the dorsal side there are multiple scars, and on one edge there is some invasive, retouch and a notch. It is unclear if the notch is an original feature or whether it represents damage. There are also some scars between t…

Knapped flint scraper on a re-used primary flake. Possibly bronze age in date. Mass: 9.3g; length: 25.8mm; width: 27.1mm; thickness: 12.3mm. Gray/brown coloured flint. Dorsal face is approximately 50% cortex, with retouch around approximately 75% of the edge. There is a white patina covering the ventral face. A similar patina is evident on the dorsal face, although where the flake has been retouched, the (unpatinated) brown/grey flint is evident – indicating that this scraper is manufactured from a re-used flake.
