Four worked / knapped pieces of flint debitage of early Neolithic date, circa 4000-3500 BC. No cortex present indicating that the debitage is from the tertiary phase of working of the core. Evidence of retouch on 2 of the 4 flints. Row 1 / column 1:- Broadly semi circular in plan and sub triangular in cross section. An area of light mottled blue patination on the dorsal face. The flint underneath the patination is revealed by removals surrounding the patinated area, probably caused by plough damage. The flint is even mid brown in colour, fine grained and translucent.

A worked / knapped flint core of later Mesolithic date, circa 7000 - 4000 BC. The core is sub oval in plan and irregular in cross section. The flint is patinated on all surfaces in an uneven mid / light grey colour with some light specks. The removal scars indicate multi-directional working of long thin blades or flakes. Length: 27.65mm. Width: 21.58mm. Thickness: 15.18mm. Weight: 10.40g A preliminary interpretation of the flints, prior to recording, by P Reavil is that the assemblage is indicative of a site used sporadically / periodically in the later Mesolithic period and mor…

Three pieces of worked / knapped burnt flint dating from the later Mesolithic to early Neolithic periods, circa 7000 - 3500 BC. All of the flints are debitage which may have been used as 'pot boilers'. No cortex survives indicating that the flints are from the tertiary phase of working of the core. The surfaces of all 3 flints indicate damage caused by exposure to heat with the characteristic white-grey colour, hackled appearance and cuboid fractures of burnt flint. Column 1:- Trapezoidal in plan and lentoid in cross section. All edges damaged in antiquity. A bulb of percussion and…

Two worked / knapped flint cores of later Mesolithic date, circa 7000 - 4000 BC. No cortex is present on either of the cores. Both cores are Clark Type A2 cores with a single striking platform and flakes removed part of the way round. The larger flint core is sub triangular in plan and in cross section. One side of the larger core has heavy matte patination. The opposing side is less patinated with shiny surfaces. The flint is an uneven light grey / blue colour. The shape of the removal scars indicate that the core had produced narrow, long flakes or blades. Larger core:- Length…
