Neolithic (Early) to Bronze Age (Later) unretouched blade, 4000 BC to 501 BC, 35mm long, 11mm wide, 5mm thick and 2.6g in weight. Made on a mid-caramel brown translucent flint that has a slight grey tinge presumably as the process of patination has begun to take place. The dorsal face possesses 3 unidirectional flake scars and the butt was heavily prepared. Some cortex remains on the distal part of the blade. Struck from a small very well prepared blade core.

Neolithic (Early) to Bronze Age (Later) side-scraper, 4000 BC to 501 BC, 39mm long, 14mm wide, 4mm thick and 2.7g in weight. Made on a flint that has turned an opaque light grey through patination. Previous blade-like removal has left a central and parallel ridge, right of which the face is cortical. The left lateral edge has recieved some semi-abrupt retouch on the ventral face to create a scraper edge that is slightly concave.

The dorsal face possesses numberous flake scars all struck unidirectionally. The right later edge has been abruptly retouched towards the proximal end on the dorsal face removing the butt, whereas there is a small retouched area on the ventral face on the left lateral edge. The flint is a very translucent light caramel brown that is turning light grey through patination.

Neolithic (Early) to Bronze Age (Later) side and end scraper, 4000 BC to 501 BC, 42mm long, 16mm wide, 10mm thick and 8.8g in weight. Made on a flint that has turned light - mid opaque grey through patination. The scraper has been fashioned on a thick curved blade by process of abrupt retouching of the distal end of the piece. Two dorsal ridges were created by unidirectional flaking and the left lateral edge on the ventral face has also received some attention by means of abrupt retouch. The end has been worn through use also.
