Description by Nicholas Thomas: All the margins have use wear. There are no scars on the ventral face. The flint is mottled grey- cream in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is unclear with only tertiary cortex. MERCER (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 143 Fig 63 No 205, which he calls a serrated flake and dates to the Neolithic period.

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is a rough flake with a notch. The right dorsal margin has a retouched notch towards the distal end, worked from both faces. The ventral face has a bulb but no scars. There is cortex on the base The flint is dark brown and cream in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is unclear with only tertiary cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 55 No 5, which he calls a notched flake and dates to the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period.

Translucent grey coloured piece of flint, with 20% cortex remaining on the dorsal face. The dorsal face exhibits a single prominent medial ridge running from the cortex at the proximal edge to the blunt point making up the distal end. The cortex is smooth in texture and touch and consistent with beach material. The flint is comprised of two tones of light grey, one translucent the other solid in appearance. The right margin is irregular in shape and blade like in appearance. The left margin is convex in plan and again blade like in appearance, no obvious indication of retouch on…

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is an edge trimmed flake. The left dorsal margin has been roughly trimmed from the ventral face. The ventral face shows no scars, but there is a hint of use wear at the distal end. The flint is dark grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble but this is unclear with only tertiary cortex. Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on Page 169 Fig 71 No 8, which he calls a notched flake and dates to the late Neolithic to early Bronze Age period.

Description by Nicholas Thomas: This is an edge trimmed flake. There is retouch along the lower half of the dorsal left margin and cortex along the right margin. The proximal end has also been trimmed. The ventral face shows edge trimming along the central part of the right margin, done from the dorsal face. The distal end is also trimmed, possibly to create a point. The flint is mottled grey in colour. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex.

The distal end of a flake of mottled grey and dull cream flint, obliquely truncated, removing the proximal end. The right margin has been abruptly retouched and a mesal denticule has been made. The break facet where it meets the right margin has been utilised with slight retouch. Butler(2005) illustrates an oblique truncation on page 111, fig 44, 15.
