Late Neolithic or early Bronze Age single-piece sickle. Manufactured from a large flake with bifacial retouch covering both surfaces. The manufacture process of flaking has removed the bulb of percussion from the sickle. There is invasive retouch on both lateral edges of the sickle giving it two curved edges. The outer convex edge is thicker than the inner cutting edge. The sickle may have been hafted, with the thicker edge fitting into a curved wooden handle. Both ends of the sickle are broken, but they would have been worked to a point. There is a slight gloss along thinner cutting e…

A Bronze Age barbed and tanged arrowhead knapped from dark grey flint. The flint has been worked with pressure-flaked invasive removals over both surfaces to form the shape of the arrowhead, with retouched edges to form the barbs and tang. The tang has a rounded end, as does one of the barbs. The other barb is smaller and more pointed. The profile of the arrowhead is a narrow and triangular. It is 38.31mm long, 25.31mm wide and 5.68mm thick.

Middle Palaeolithic Levallois core, knapped from very high quality dark black flint. The core has two convex faces. The upper surface has a considerable amount of flakes removed, leaving a large amount of flaking scars and impact ripples on the surface. There are patches of natural mid-grey cortex surviving on the outer edges of this surface. The other face has a bulb of percussion and there is a hinged fracture along part of the outer edge. This surface has only been worked around the edge, the majority of the surface remaining smooth with the exception of a few small scars. There is …
