A possibly Neolithic microlith, dating to 2500-2000 BC. It is triangular in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. It is a secondary flake manufactured by a light brown flint core (15% of cortex surviving). The dorsal face has a longitudinal shallow ridge and long and abrupt parallel retouches on two adjacent edges. The third edge has short, abrupt and scaled retouches. The ventral face has a shallow bulb of percussion on one end and short, semi abrupt scaled retouches on one edge. It could be a transverse arrowhead although the o…

A Neolithic flint point, dating to 9000-4000 BC. It consists of a sub-rectangular tertiary flake, which tapers towards one end. The ventral face has a shallow bulb of percussion on the wider end, which has been slightly smoothened; concentric ripples come down from the bulb to the pointed end. The pointed tip has a triangular shape and has one edge fully worked with short, scaled and abrupt retouches; the opposite long side with no retouches on the tip edge has very short scaled and abrupt retouches on large part of its midsection. The dorsal face has a hump on its wider end and short…

A rod shaped piercer, brown in colour, possessing bi-facial retouch and which has been expediently made. The dorsal face has been invasively retouched whereas the ventral face exhibits continuous retouch with an abrupt angle and is of edge extent to aid in piercing function. Bond (2005) illustrates an example on p119, fig 5.103, 52 which dates to the Mesolithic.

Flint microlith bladelet, nearly ovoid in plan. The dorsal side has a break at the dorsal end. The lower half of the right edge is trimmed. The ventral side also has edge trimming.
