A Mesolithic flint artefact, probably a microlith. The tool is formed from a broken bladelet. The oblique edge at the break may suggest that the bladelet was broken using the microburin technique, where the bladelet is broken down into separate parts by introducing a notch, removing the proximal end. Brown discolouration of the flint at the left edge of the ventral surface (if ventral surface is facing) may indicate burning, perhaps as part of the microlith production process. There is slight retouch along the right lateral edge (dorsal side facing) although the left edge appe…

A Mesolithic flint microlith formed from a broken bladelet, probably using the microburin technique. The microlith is triangular in shape and trapezoidal in section. There is abrubt retouch along the left lateral edge, creating a blunt edge (this edge was perhaps slotted into an organic shaft or handle). The opposite edge has some further retouch applied by pressure flaking from the dorsal surface. The butt is square. The flint ranges from pale grey/cream to a darker grey in colour. It measures 22.04 mm long, 7.47 mm wide, 2.74 mm thick and weighs 0.3 grams.

A Mesolithic flint microlith formed from a broken bladelet. The microlith is triangular in shape and has a flat butt formed at the break. The left lateral edge has abrubt retouch which forms a blunt edge, perhaps to facilitate slotting the point into a shaft. The right edge is naturally sharp and appears not to have been retouched. The implement is sub-trapezoidal in section. It measures 10.62 mm in length, 5.57 mm wide, 1.84 mm thick and weighs 0.1 gram. The flint is a mottled dark grey in colour.

A small flake of flint of mottled grey to cream colour, possibly a microlith. The flint does not appear to exhibit and retouch and may thus be an unutilised flake. It measures 20.9 mm long and 7.8 mm wide. It is 3.8 mm thick. The flint terminates with a sharp point at its tip. If this flint is a microlith then it is Mesolithic in date.

A complete flint Microlith of Mesolithic date (9000-3450 BC). The object is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section. The dorsal surface has covering scaled flaking. The proximal edge is abruptly blunted and the distal end tapers in. The left hand edge has fine, semi-abrupt retouch. The right hand edge has been abruptly blunted. The ventral surface is predominantly flat with the exception of a small bulb of percussion situated at the distal end. The lithic retains no cortex and is therefore a tertiary flake. The flint is dark grey in colour with light grey inclusions through…

A complete flint Microlith of Mesolithic date (9000-3350 BC). The object is sub-triangular in plan and plano-convex in section. The dorsal surface has three negative scars towards the distal end and retains cortex across the proximal end. Both ends taper to a point and all edges have fine semi-abrupt retouch. The ventral surface is flat and retains a small bulb of percussion at the distal end with shallow ripples of percussion emanating from it. The lithic retains some cortex and is therefore a secondary flake. The flint is a brown colour, with dark grey inclusions throughout. The …
